In this interview, Susanne Melanie Schmid shares her journey with multiple sclerosis, how she found strength in vulnerability, and what helped her push beyond limits—literally and figuratively. As part of the international TheMay50K challenge, she not only walked over 60 kilometers, but also built meaningful connections, including with MS advocates in South Africa. Susanne speaks about her diagnosis, therapeutic path, and what drives her today with warmth, clarity, and optimism.
