Two years ago Sunraysia woman Anyse Austrums was faced with some confronting news: her cousin had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. All of a sudden she was exposed to an illness she had previously known little about. At the time of this diagnosis in 2018, Anyse came across local fundraiser 24 Hour Mega Swim for Multiple Sclerosis and immediately wanted to get involved. Danielle Wilcock spoke with Anyse to discuss this life-changing event and the fundraiser she has become increasingly passionate about. Picture: Krystal Torney

FOR two years, Anyse Austrums has made it her mission to become more involved and help raise vital funds for multiple sclerosis (MS) research.
