Clarissa ✨

Our why...

It's that time of year again! ♥️📚

Clarissa is taking part in the MS READATHON to help raise money and awareness for Multiple Sclerosis... 📚🤓

As most of you know, my mum was diagnosed with MS back in 2004, so this cause is incredibly close to our hearts ♥️

Multiple Sclerosis is a disease that affects the brain and spinal cord, damaging the nerves that carry messages throughout the body 🧠 It can cause things like fatigue, pain, problems with balance and mobility, vision issues, numbness, and so much more... No two people experience MS the same way and there is still NO CURE 💔

My mum Maria Hosking is one of the strongest people I know... If I could take this horrible disease away from her, I would in a heartbeat...

Instead, I've watched her face every challenge with more strength, determination and resilience than I could ever put into words...

Mum... I hate what this disease has taken from you, but I hope you know it will never take away the amazing person, wife, mum and nanny you are ♥️ I know you don't always see yourself the way the rest of us do... but I hope you know just how incredible you are 🥰 You have faced more than most people could ever imagine... yet you continue to show up with love, strength and determination every single day. You inspire us more than you'll ever know. ♥️

You are the most amazing Mum and an INCREDIBLE Nanny ♥️

Even though MS has taken away some of the things you used to be able to do with the kids, it has never taken away the love you give your grandbabies 🥰 

You always find ways to make us all and especially the kids feel so loved, so special, and so incredibly lucky to have you in our lives 🫶

We love you more than words could ever say ❤️

That's why this means so much to us...

This year... Clarissa has set herself a goal of reading 20 books over the month of August and raising $500 📚 ✨

Every dollar raised helps fund vital research, support services, and hope for families living with MS... 

If you're able to donate, no matter how big or small, we would be so incredibly grateful 😍 

And if you can't donate, sharing this post would mean the world to us too ❤️

Thank you for supporting Clarissa and everyone affected by MS. 🧡📚
