Michelle Gerrit's Mastering Multiple Sclerosis Goal

$165 donated

Given by 7 generous donors in one year

I am raising money, through donations or sponsorship to help Mastering Mountains support others with MS, just as they have helped me.

Nationwide

Since being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, five years ago, Michelle has suffered from severe numbness, tingling, balance and mobility issues. She finds work and social occasions hard: “I have to sit down as I can’t stand for long periods of time. Sometimes it is hard to mix and mingle.” However, one of the hardest things she has to deal with was not being able to keep up with her grandchildren or work on her lifestyle block.

This isn't the case anymore!

Michelle was awarded one of the 2017 Mastering Mountains Grants, which has been used to obtain an Alinker Bike. The Alinker bike is a “non-motorised, walking bike with no pedals”, designed specifically to support the user and enable him or her to stay balanced and comfortable while exercising.

In addition to the Alinker Bike, Michelle was also given MitoQ Serum and Suppliements to help rebuild and support her system, as well as specialised clothing from Macpac to help keep her keep cool and comfortable when training.

Please join Michelle in sponsoring her, per Km, or by giving a donation, as all money will go back to Mastering Mountains Charitable Trust to help not only Michelle to achieve their goals, but to help master MS as well.
