Stepping Up: Our October Challenge for MS

At Nurse Next Door Melbourne North, our mission of Making Lives Better has become personal. A beloved member of our own team, Tania Reed, was  diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, and her story is our inspiration.

This October, our team is taking on the 31-Day Challenge for MS. We're pushing our personal limits through running, meditation, and more to raise money for a cause that's now part of our family.

Tania’s journey began on her honeymoon when she suddenly couldn't move her leg. The diagnosis was confronting, but the invisible battle that followed was harder. As Tania describes, "What people don’t understand is the monster it causes inside your head and your body... MS affects everything about you." She faced debilitating symptoms and a loss of confidence, but refused to let the disease win. With immense courage, she decided to fight back, declaring, "MS will not take control of me. I will control my MS."

Today, Tania uses her experience to connect deeply with clients who also live with MS, turning her struggle into a source of unique empathy.

We are taking on this challenge for Tania, for our clients who bravely face MS every day, and for a future free from this disease. Every dollar raised supports vital research and services for the MS community.
