Nova radio announcer Katie Mattin opens up about her battle with MS

KATIE Mattin knows what it’s like to need a positive role model.

That’s why the popular Nova 106.9 mornings announcer has decided to go public with her multiple sclerosis diagnosis for the first time since finding out seven years ago that she had the disease.

Mattin said she recently signed on as an ambassador for the MS Society of Queensland’s Brissie to the Bay bike ride in the hope of helping others who are living with MS to find their strength and courage.
