us and give us more information. >> Thank you for having me. >> Reporter: you do live with ms and may being you can talk about your journey with it and you know what's it has been like so far. >> Ms has impacted every aspect of my life to my family life, to my work life, to my recreation life. When I was first diagnosed I was the living in the prime of my life. I had a 10-year-old daughter. I was working full time at a teach have my husband travelled a lot for work. So I was managing my house hold on my own. Life was really busy, and I didn't have time to be dealing with an unpredictable episodic disease that would most likely progress like ms. I had to make adjustments to my loif. I had to start doing some self care taking time for myself, asking for help when I needed. But the thing with ms is that it is always there in the back of your mind, and I had to make adjustment and is accommodations for it all the time. >> And so, what's it like being an ambassador. What was the importance of you becoming an ambassador for ms canada. What did it mean to you when may be they approached you about that? >> Well, I approached ms canada when I was first diagnosed with ms because I was looking for a community of people so that I could find out more about what ms was like, and what actually happened was I have gotten way more from ms canada than I could possibly have given of myself. Ms is known as canada's disease with over 90,000 canadians living with it. Women are three more times likely to be diagnosed and people are diagnosed in the prime of their life between the age of 20 and 49. So I felt that it was really important to be an ambassador to get the word out so people could support people like me and the 90,000 canadians. >> Touch on that a little bit too actually with approaching ms canada about getting the connections. How vital is it to have these kind of walks that may be the community can come together to learn from each other, to have you know to share stories about ms. >> Yes. It is very vital the community aspect is very important. When I'm at the ms walk I know that I'm not battling my disease of ms alone and I'm reminded of all of the people that want to support me that are there fundraising and advocating and raising funds for this disease. >> And with ms, may be could you talk about where we stand with the disease? You know I guess research is still very important thing with ms. >> Yes. Research is very important. The funds raised from the walks all across canada will go to fund research to find a cure and research to potentially prevent ms. Money also goes to services and equipment for people to improve quality of life while living with the disease. >> We're just about out of time but before we let you go where can people get more information about the walk and may be if they want to donate where can they go for that information? >> The walk is happening this sunday may 26. For more information they can go online to ms walks.ca. The walk is happening at the park here in winnipeg and event registration happens at 10 A.M. opening sarps at 11 with a short program and then we will walk a 4 kilometre route after that. >> We want to thank you for your time this morning. >> Thank you very much.
