On the sixth episode of the Raw Nerve, co-host Phil O’Neil catches up with MS advocate a para-cycling world champion Emily Petricola about her inspirational MS journey, her international cycling success and how the two are inextricably linked. Emily was diagnosed with MS in 2007 at 27 years of age. She talks openly about her treatment, her newfound perspective and the competitive cycling road and goals still ahead. “Until the day comes where I don't feel that same passion or drive and desire to be the best that I can be, or my body starts to fail maybe beyond the point where I can ignore it, then that's what I'll be doing.” Related links: MS Australia Media Release ABC Video ABC Online Episode Transcript
