Adam Powell was a self-proclaimed beast until 2019 when he was diagnosed with the most aggressive case of Primary Progressive MS his doctor had ever seen. Over the course of 5 weeks, he lost the ability to walk and drive, which, combined with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, led to an intense grieving process.

However, with his own unstoppable nature, combined with a healthy dose of FUMS attitude, he has found ways to cope. Through the use of physiotherapy, exercise, yoga, and light therapy, he even carried out a cross-country solo road trip! 

I think his story and his attitude to living his best life with Multiple Sclerosis are inspiring.
