A woman has asked for help for her fiancé, after his MS has started to progress.
Tania Persechini's fiancé, Adam Moore, has been battling against Multiple Sclerosis (MS) for the past 14 years. 
MS is a life-long condition that can affect the brain and spinal cord, causing a wide range of potential symptoms, including problems with vision, arm or leg movement, sensation or balance.
"Watching Adam navigate the ups and downs of MS has been both heart-wrenching and inspiring. From the initial blow of losing his mobility to the triumphant strides he made in reclaiming his independence, Adam's journey has been a testament to his strength," said Tania on a GoFundMe page. 
"Recently, however, our world has been shaken once again. Adam now struggles with severe tremors in his hands, making it difficult for him to use a knife & fork, write/type and perform many simple everyday tasks. He deals with pain and severe fatigue, and his medical team has confirmed that his MS has started to progress."
In their search for treatment, the couple found a clinic in Germany offering stem cell treatment for MS, which would use Adam's own stem cells.
"He has been identified as a suitable candidate for this potentially life-changing intervention. However, the financial cost – over €75,000 is overwhelming, especially with Adam's decreasing ability to work due to his condition.
"Adam has taken control of his health through meticulous diet and exercise regimens, striving to optimise his well-being in every possible way. Yet, the progression of MS poses challenges that extend beyond his control, hindering his ability to work and perform daily tasks. Adam's positivity and determination continue to inspire me every day. Despite his challenges, he remains steadfast in his commitment to his health and well-being," she said.
Tania said help can make a "world of difference" in Adam's journey. "Each donation, no matter how small, brings us closer to our goal of giving Adam the chance to reclaim his life and continue pursuing his dreams."
