Jessica Gray

"Survival of the Fittest"

The diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis was no surprise to this educated young woman, who had been struggling with health problems for some time without an answer. Her gut instinct told her there was something seriously wrong when she experienced paralysis from the waist down. Now, finally with the efficient diagnosis of MS, not a shock, but a relief.

Following an alarmingly tough youth and having to grow up way too fast, this intelligent and focused individual was determined to excel in her educational pursuits. She found enormous support from her high school community which allowed her to complete her education.

With a misdiagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome repeatedly being focused on for a number of years, an MRI scan finally revealed the truth - in vivid black and white.

Since then, meeting the love of her life totally changed her direction for the better. Her devoted husband threw in his job to care for Jessica during a severe relapse and a very dark time in her life, but love grew through this challenging time.

Whilst achieving a Bachelor or Nursing, Jessica also took control of her health and body as best she could, educated herself about MS and the effects of a healthy diet. She also focused her time on weight training to improve her muscle mass and is now a qualified personal trainer.

Jessica has strived to overcome many obstacles no 20 year old should not have to, but has accomplished everything to get to where she is today. Because of her dedication to work and healthy education ethic, her future looks bright with her loving husband by her side. They are looking forward to their first child this year with a positive future ahead of them.
