My name is Andy McKenna and I have multiple sclerosis. I have been living with MS for ten+ years and I am proof that there’s a way of still leading a healthy, productive life. To this day I still operate my mountain bike guiding business (Go-Where Scotland) with my wife Aneela and our awesome team of guides and I try to get outside into the Scottish mountains as often as I can as part of my therapy. ‘This Way Up’ Film tells the story of my battle with Multiple Sclerosis, and my quest for a drug-free path to health.
MS is an ‘incurable’ degenerative and disabling neurological disease affecting the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves of almost 2.5 million people worldwide. But all is not lost! STOKED ON MS (stokedonms.org.uk) is a way of creating dialogue with people about alternative paths to health and I believe in Overcoming MS (OMS) - the charity established to promote a positive lifestyle programme that aims to help people with MS live long, healthy lives. #stokedonMS #ThisWayUp
