Team GB Olympic athlete Lina Nielsen was diagnosed aged 17 with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (MS), and through her own experience knows that it is a condition that is widely misunderstood: “I have been living with MS since I was a teenager, and since sharing my diagnosis, the reaction has been phenomenal. MS has given me purpose and I have an opportunity to inspire people living with MS, but also to educate, as MS is quite misunderstood. I am not held back by the label or diagnosis, and I want to give other people with MS courage and hope to feel the same.”

This session is sponsored by Sanofi.
