Hi, I’m Hayley. At just 13 years old, I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in April 2000. Originally from Manchester, England, I’ve made County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland my home for the past 12 years, where I live with my loving partner and our vibrant 4½-year-old daughter. Despite the challenges that MS presents daily, I embrace life with an open heart. I’m an outgoing person who loves spending time with friends, making memories, and living each day to the fullest. But MS has been a relentless teacher, shaping my journey and demanding resilience every step of the way. After 22 years of navigating this disease, the past year has been particularly tough, following a significant relapse. Weakness and pain in my right leg and arm have led me to rely more on mobility aids, including a wheelchair when I’m out and about. While these aids help me maintain my independence, they sometimes bring moments of identity crisis—reminding me of the ever-changing nature of living with MS. Still, I remain determined. Each day is an opportunity to find joy, adapt, and make the most of what I have. Through the challenges, I’ve learned that embracing vulnerability and seeking support are powerful acts of strength. My journey is a testament to resilience, and I hope it inspires others to face their battles with courage and grace.
