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. This conversation originally aired as part of the MS Perspektive International podcast. A German-language version of the interview is also available.
