I am not completely sure how to start this.. Out of respect for my friend I do not wish to say to much.
I have a friend who just lost her father a few days ago, she is 20 years old, and to lose her father just out of no where like that seems unbearable especially when he was thousands of kilometres away for a holiday and none of her family got to see him at all. It really got me thinking.
I know I can’t imagine losing a parent that young. When someone close to you loses a loved one you feel like there is not much you are able to do except comfort them with your presence.
However my friend has another hardship as well.. She is living with MS for those of you that do not know.. multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common disease of the central nervous system and affects more than 23,000 Australians.
The average age of diagnosis of MS is just 30 years,
Sadly it is almost impossible to tell how long someone with MS has left.

This gave my girlfriend an idea, she told me of an event held in Brisbane Australia
This Friday the 19th of October a 10km moonlight walk is being held which is a beautiful charity/event that raises money for people living with MS like our friend.
Its main site is here if anyone is curious, has friends or family with MS.

Seeing something like this happen to a friend has spurred me to act and just want to talk about it, my girlfriend her family, and myself have made a team and joined the moonlight walk. Now that we actually have something we can physically do to help her out and make her feel better it feels pretty amazing for everyone, since we will also be bringing a bit of happiness to other peoples lives. Our friend is going to do the walk with us to the best of her ability as well!

If you would like to support to our team in any way you can do so here

I would be more then happy if people just left a message for our friend Emily saying “good luck” “have fun everyone do your best” or If you must “ESPORTS” any kind of encouraging message would be welcome, however I would ask if you did not include things like I am sorry for your loss etc.. unless you really must as she has seen and heard that enough we want this event to cheer her up and help her forget the past week for one night.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this and even if you cannot help out just offer a silent thought to our friend and her family that is just as valuable.
