MS Plus, Climbing for a cure: Mum of three with MS to climb Himalayan peak

In October, Jen Willis, a 50-year-old mum of three living with MS, will embark on a 51-day expedition to the Himalayas, where she will summit Mera Peak (6476m) and then Ama Dablam (6,812m), to raise money for Multiple Sclerosis research and the Forum for the Welfare of Himalayan Children.

“Having MS has motivated me to get going and realise my childhood dream of becoming a mountaineer. Through this amazing adventure and by raising funds to help others, I am also finding a great sense of purpose in living with MS,” Jen says.
