40: Áine O'Donnell - My Multiple Sclerosis Fight

Stretch Marks: The 40's Stretch

NEW! "The 40's Stretch" - A new season from Stretch Marks Podcast

We are stretching - this time into our 40's.

Meet Áine O'Donnell - one of my closest friends and favourite humans.

At 27 she was diagnosed with MS, Multiple Sclerosis, an incurable neurological condition that interrupts communication between the brain and the rest of the body. Eventually, the disease can cause permanent damage and loss of power.

At 40, she lost her dad, got married and learned that her hero drugs have failed her.

And this week, as this goes out, she begins the process of a Stem Cell Transplant in the UK - her last chance to hold back her advancing MS.

But it's not all tears. We laugh. We reminisce.

We talk about the grief of losing her dad. And marrying the love of her life Tara.

And in this one hour - she will teach you more about life than anyone could.
