A Conversation with Rosie Farrell

In episode 27 of the Podcast I was delighted to welcome a very special guest, Mrs. Rosie Farrell for a chat. Rosie is a Designer and Sub-Editor for Irish Daily living in the Irish Farmers Journal. Rosie is an inspirational woman who has shown amazing courage and strength after being diagnosed as with Multiple Sclerosis in her early 20’s which was a bombshell to say the least, especially being in the middle of training for the Dublin Half Marathon at the time.
Rosie takes us on a journey of her mind-set to overcome adversity of her diagnosis and having to live with periods of chronic pain which has sometimes left her crying on the floor not being able to move with the pain. She has periods of relapse and periods of feeling relief and uses a cane and a wheelchair if she will be out of the house for long periods as she can tire easily.
She also featured in RTE Televisions “Big Life Fix” Program earlier this year where she was helped carry on her passion for Art and painting by engineering equipment to help her ergonomically carry on painting which plays such an important part of Rosie’s life.
I was blown away by her positive attitude to her diagnosis and how she has become an ambassador for MS Ireland and educates other sufferers and their families on what has helped her and to support them anyway she can. She has recently painted some amazing Christmas cards which are currently on sale and can be found on the MS Ireland online shop with all proceeds going to MS Ireland.
I am very proud to say that Rosie is also my 2nd cousin and she is such an amazing human being and I know you are all going to be as inspired by her as I am. Enjoy guys.
