Hi, I’m Amy Thompson
I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) just after my 21st birthday. Today, I am a content creator, disability advocate and disability model. I am also the founder and CEO of a new UK-based charity called MS Together.
When I received my MS diagnosis, I was terrified. I instantly went on social media to try and find someone young who I could relate to talking about living with MS. But I couldn’t find anything. I then decided to start documenting my journey - to help myself but also to help others.
And that led me to starting this blog! Here, I hope to raise awareness of MS but also disability as a whole. I hope to challenge the misconceptions around disability and help get rid of the stereotypes associated with MS. I am very much living my best life as a 27 year old whilst trying to navigate the challenges that come with having a disability.
Thank you for joining me on this journey and for your support!
