Lina Nielsen is a British sprinter, hurdler and yoga instructor. She shared her MS diagnosis last summer after relapsing just before competing in the World Championships. We spoke to Lina about how she supports her mental wellbeing.

Terri-Louise was diagnosed with MS 7 years ago. She talks about how MS has changed her, and how it’s inspired her to speak up.
