Hold On. Multiple Sclerosis: Ben Parker

April 28, 2026 · 1 h 16 min

Show notes

Diagnosed with Multiple sclerosis (MS), at the age of 32 in 2008, it was a day that freed Ben but also told him that things were going to be tough. The one thought that came through was just hold on. Participating in marathons, and becoming a teacher, the pain that started all of this has since created the happiness he now has.. 


Ps never forget, the world is always better with you in it. 


MS is a chronic, autoimmune disease of the central nervous system where the immune system damages the myelin sheath protecting nerves, disrupting brain-body communication.
