Anne's nomination story

I give hope to others and friends/family that I am fighting the effects of this disease and walk thro the streets in highly decorated bras!I took up power walking four years after being diagnosed with MS. Despite the challenges this brings I have walked 422 miles from Edinburgh to London and completed eight power walk marathons raising thousands of pounds for breast cancer research charity Walk the Walk. I hope to keep walking and showing others coming to terms with an MS diagnosis that it is possible to still do new and exciting things. Even though it make take us more of an effort to do these things it also means the sense of achievement is even greater when we get there. As long as I can keep walking then I can keep giving others hope as well as encouraging other women to take part in these events thus reducing their own chances of developing breast cancer
