Jason's Story
Jason's life has changed dramatically since a trip to the doctor ended with the fateful words 'I think you
have MS'.
He was a young man with a wife and two children – a typical Aussie bloke in the prime of his life. Apart from his family, his passion was for cars and bikes. He loved his competitive swimming, and like all of us, enjoyed the long warm summers which enabled him to truly enjoy the great outdoors with his children.
Like other people with multiple sclerosis, Jason's diagnosis placed great strain on his marriage and his two beautiful children, who now live with their mother.
MS Australia has been there for Jason at critical stages throughout his battle with MS, providing information, guidance, and professional healthcare services – and helping him to maintain his independence and dignity. This is what 'giving life back' is all about.
