Norbert is doing a skydive :)
I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) in 2012 at the age of 28 although my symptoms started some years before but it took a long time to be diagnosed . I loved swimming, being in the sun and racing cars. The first symptom I noticed was that if the weather was warm , my legs started not to work properly and it was as if they were heavb ly and stiff and this made it very hard to walk. My mobility declined after a few years and I wasn't able to drive lorries for work as I had had been doing , and I noticed the hot weather or sun made everything worse, the sun I loved had become my enemy. Now , in 2024 Icannot walk even from one room to the next without a walker or wheelchair and I am unable to walk to my dog or work. My balance has been affected and even when I stand I cannot stand for any length of time without holding onto something. For most people walking across the road is a simple action, for me to cross a road is like me trying to cross an ocean. I really want to challenge myself with this skydive , for my body to feel free like a bird and for a few moments to feel weightless. I also want to raise money for the Wessex MS Centre who give me so much support.
