On 6th May Marlene Hessing proudly achieved her personal mission of completing the Tiri Tiri Matangi Walk, following an Anzac Day walk on the Leigh Coastal Walkway on Goat Island.

Marlene Hessing was told her Multiple Sclerosis would only get worse and that she would end up in a wheelchair. Now, almost 20 years later, Marlene has taken control of her MS and is determined and strong.  

“I walked down the final slope towards the Visitors Centre to clapping and cheering. I was elated and overwhelmed with my achievement, thankful for the support I had from so many people and to be surrounded by such positivity.”
