Aged just 40, Ruth Smith had met a new partner and was training for the Great North Run.
 
Then she received devastating news.
 
She had MS.
 
She cried for a whole week, not least for the life she wouldn't have.
 
But on this episode of PRsonal, Ruth talks with host Charlotte Nichols about how she's faced it head-on.
 
She talks about the ups and downs - like fatigue, brain fog and pain - but also how she's flipped the idea of a bucket list on its head.
 
Instead, she's developed a 'f*** it' list - and embraced a defiant zest for life.
