Harden IGA is teaming up with other IGA’s owned by the Krnc family to take on Multiple Sclerosis or (MS), a condition that is close to the wider IGA family and the Krnc family.
The MS Walk, Run and Rollathon fundraiser is currently underway. The event is being held in Canberra on Sunday 29th May 2022. Harden IGA is part of the IGA Canberra Region page. So far already, they have raised $7,544 at time of print heading towards a target of $20,000. Can you imagine waking up one day unable to do the everyday things you would usually take for granted?
Like not being able to see properly (or at all), unable to get out of bed, walk to the phone to call someone – anyone – or live a life without pain? All of a sudden, your world has changed.
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic and often debilitating disease which attacks the central nervous system (the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves). It is the most common neurological disease in young adults and often attacks people at a time in their lives when they are planning families and building a career.
Three out of four people living with MS are women. However it can strike anyone at any time. With the communities support, people living with multiple sclerosis can get access to vital support services, like MS Connect, MS Peer Support and MS Employment Support Programs.
Bringing new treatments closer to reality, investing in repairing myelin damage to restore function that has been lost for people with progressive forms of the disease is super important for the 25,000 Aussies living with multiple sclerosis.
