Oceans of Hope Croatia 2018

Oceans of Hope Croatia 2018
In November 2017 I attended MSSessions2017 with Shift.ms. What an amazing eye-opening MS experience. See the respective blog! Whilst there, I had the joy of meeting Natalie and Vicky amongst others. They both - towards the end of the weekend - told me about Oceans of Hope that they had attended in 2016 and that I must go. So later last year I applied, got accepted and wow. SO glad I did….
“First things first; the travel. I knew when I saw the flight – as of looking (and researching, as I do) – that it would make for an early start. 06:00 flight! To Croatia, via Amsterdam as Newcastle direct lines are good, but not fantastic.
Yes, there were two options for the day; the other one would simply have been far too late.
So, in order to be there (Croatia) in good time for a comfortable start time, the early flight it was with an early (03:30) taxi and little sleep! Not really anything new there then.
Having made the decision to NOT take a (reading) book so I could wri…

MS Sessions 2017 Prague - Saturday

MS Sessions 2017 PragueSaturday 25th November 2017
The ‘official’ start of the weekend with breakfast, then headed into the main room for the beginning. I was with Eoghan, whom I was sharing a room with for the event duration, and we sat at the front. Handy for me as at the time my ears were both blocked (sexy, I know) and hearing was an issue…
So Emma Rogan (I think) opened up, welcoming us all with a brief talk about EMSP - European Multiple Sclerosis Platform - and Shift.ms. The 2 amazing charities who made this happen.

9:40 Yolanda Higueras:
Yolanda was interacting with the room asking the questions to us, making us think… To the slides and my scribbles from them:
Somethings depend on me but others don’t -my thoughts and beliefs -I feel my reactions -my decisions -my attitude Find and use your freedom -don’t overdose your control -this is your freedom
“if you like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude” - Maya Angelou
-Find in the ‘here and now’ -Don’t allow anything …

Swimming!

Swimming!A quick blog, about me and a return to swimming.After an amazing email that I received on Sunday (10/12/17) informing me that I had been accepted to attend the Oceans of Hope Challenge2018, I knew that I had to test and improve my swimming.

I have not swum at all since Hurghada 2015 and even that wasn’t much, and was the first time I had swam for four years. So, I planned on making a splash ASAP!

At time of writing, it is my ‘Tysabri week’ and usually the most challenging week for myself when it comes to physical activity. But after the email… No choice Roj!!! Oceans of Hope is going to be an amazing experience, clearly a blog or two by itself.
Back to me! This is where it gets different; a bit. Upon arrival at the gym, for the pool (obviously), I headed to get changed, as one does.
Found a lockerput 20p instarted to get ready there and thenhad to change into shorts, into disabled changing cubicleneeded bag from locker which I got and shut lockergot changed and put key around my…
