"Attitude Is Everything"

Human Resources expert Roger Reece has effectively utilised his past experience in positively managing change in various situations for many people. These skills came in very handy when he himself was thrown the biggest challenge of his life.

This delightful gentleman was born in the United Kingdom where he completed his Bachelor of Science Honours degree in Economics and later commenced his professional career with BP resulting in worldwide travel.

During 1993 Roger was posted to Australia to look after BP's interests in the North West Shelf and PNG, requiring further travel in the Asian region. During trips to tropical regions this intuitive man became aware of sensitivity to and was fatigued by high temperatures. He also developed balance issues.

This trouble shooter instigated medical investigations and an MRI which pointed towards the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, the most common chronic neurological disease of the 20-50 age group.

Currently Roger is a dedicated Rotarian with the Rotary Club of Doncaster, while busily directing his own management consultancy firm. He is focused on what his family, including his wife and three children, can do to lessen the impact MS has on the family unit.

Sensibly Roger's attitude was directed towards firstly education, which led to a positive frame of mind. Fortunately for us Roger found his way to become involved with the MS Ambassadors Program during 2008.

MS Australia - ACT/ NSW/VIC highly recommends MS Ambassador Roger Reece as a dedicated ambassador who is firmly convinced that "how you view life and whatever you are able to put into it, comes down to your attitude towards it: surely, MS represents a condition where Attitude is Everything!"
