Jodie Evans is a 25-year-old from the Oxfordshire region who was diagnosed with MS five years ago. Jodie spoke about her condition and about how it caused her to worry about her future. She told ofhow she read up on multiple sclerosis using leaflets that had been printed to give information on the effects of the condition.
Many charities that support multiple sclerosis produce their own literature to support people living with the condition, often enlisting the help of local Print companies who offer services like flyer printing.
Oxford is set to host the Olympic torch from 9 - 10 July and Jodie will carry the torch alongside fellow torchbearers who have been selected in the region. Jodie will be carrying the torch with her workmates from the Mini factory in the area, where she works in recruitment.
Jodie spoke about her Olympic opportunity, saying:
“When I was first told I would be doing this, it didn’t sink in. But as it’s getting closer, it’s becoming real. I’m so excited to have it coming through work. It will be lovely to have everyone there supporting me.”
The journey of the Olympic torch has been followed closely by people across the UK in the run up to the London 2012 Olympic Games. All eyes will be on Josie as she carries the torch, raising awareness of Multiple Sclerosis and showing how people can learn to live with the condition.
