MS Warrior – Torbjørn Laundal
Hi, I’m Torbjørn from Skien, Norway — indoor rower, dog lover, Fujifilm photographer, and proud #MSWarrior since 2008.
I started rowing in late 2014 in a desperate attempt to lose weight after tipping the scale at nearly 160 kg. Within less than a year, I had cut my body weight in half. What began as a weight loss journey turned into something much bigger — rowing became my most powerful medicine for managing life with MS.
Today, I’ve rowed over 25 million meters and maintained a daily streak since August 2020. It’s not about chasing records — it’s about showing up every single day, no matter how I feel. Because I know the power of consistency, and how it can transform both body and mind.
My goal with this site and my YouTube channel is simple: to inspire others to take charge of their health, prove what’s possible even with chronic illness, and remind you that you are stronger than you think. Whether you're battling fatigue, recovering from injury, or just trying to build better habits — if my journey helps even one person take a positive step forward, it's all been worth it.
