Living with Multiple System Atrophy (MSA), Lawrie continues to find joy in the things that matter to him, from music and family to travelling and staying connected with his community.

Today, on World MSA Day, Lawrie's advice to others living with MSA is this: take each day as it comes and remember that support is there when you need it.

Through Fight Parkinson’s, Lawrie and his wife Sam have connected with support groups, specialist services and information to help them navigate life with MSA.

By sharing stories like Lawrie’s, we hope more people living with MSA, their families and carers know they don’t have to navigate it alone. Fight Parkinson’s is here with information, support and connection. Call our free Health Information Line on 1800 931 031 to speak with our team.
