I’m proud to share that a piece I wrote has been published by the MS Society of New Zealand. It’s called “MS Care Can’t Wait – and Neither Can We”, and it speaks to the urgent need for better access to treatment, services, and support for people living with Multiple Sclerosis in New Zealand.
This is a personal topic for me, and one that affects thousands of Kiwis. Many of us face long wait times, delayed diagnoses, and barriers to essential treatment — often during the most vulnerable periods of our lives. This piece highlights the real impact of those delays, and calls for meaningful change.

The issues I’ve highlighted in this article are not unique to MS — they reflect a broader, growing crisis in how our health system responds to complex, chronic, and often invisible conditions like auto-immune disorders. People living with these illnesses deserve timely, equitable care. It’s time we recognised the urgency — because the longer we wait, the worse the outcomes become.
