Sue's Mission To Smash MS

Sue Walker is a well-known member of the Taradale community and owner of Happy Days Childcare centre on White Street.

In 2013 Sue was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Over the past 2 years, Sue has endured multiple hospital visits, extreme fatigue, great pain, loss of feeling in her limbs, loss of speech, being unable to swallow and much more.

Desperate to stop this disease from doing any more damage, Sue has made the big decision to travel to Singapore in January 2016 to have HSCT treatment to halt her MS.

This is a radical treatment which involves a Stem Cell Transplant combined with chemotherapy and will require Sue to stay in Singapore for 3 months.

People who have undergone this treatment are experiencing fantastic results but unfortunately, it is not available in New Zealand and will cost Sue and her family around $200,000.

Although reluctant to put her hand out for money, Sue understands that she won’t get there alone. She would also like to raise awareness of MS and give hope to others out there who are suffering from this disease.

Sue's goal is to be back playing tennis with the Greendale Tennis Club by Christmas next year - let's help her reach her goal!
