Fundraising for MS-UK
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I have been bitten by the family running bug and have decided to run my first half marathon, hoping to raise a few pounds for charity at the same time! I know I am not quite as crazy as some of my other family members, mentioning no names, running the full marathon, but I feel that 13 miles is quite enough! The training is going well and I am taking many tips from my dad.
I have decided to run for the Multiple Sclerosis Resource Centre who support and offer advice to people affected by MS. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the most comman disabling neurological condition affecting young adults, with around 100,00 people in the UK having MS. The Charity provides vital support to people with MS and relies a lot on donations to enable the charity to keep providing the service that it currently offers. Below is a short sumary of the service they provide and how your donations can help.
MSRC
is a national charity committed to supporting anyone affected by
Multiple Sclerosis - their approach is to encourage individuals to make
choices that are appropriate to their daily lives, empowering them to
maximise their potential.
MSRC needs to raise £45,000 per month to maintain vital services such as
-
The only 24 hr, freephone, Telephone Counselling Service for people affected by MS that operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week
-
Publish the acclaimed MS Journal, New Pathways, currently sent to 29 countries and edited by Judy Graham, a leading light in the MS Community
Here's a how a donation can make all the difference:
- £10 will pay for an unlimited counselling call
-
£15 will pay for a years subscription to New Pathways
-
£25 will provide one mornings worth of Benefits advice and support
-
£50 will pay for 10 CD copies of New Pathways.
-
£100 will pay for one day of a MS Specialist Advisor.
-
£500 will cover one third of the yearly costs involved in the training, telephone and other costs of one of Telephone Counsellors.
Their ethos
is that "Life is for Living" and we strongly believe that access to
unbiased information and advice can help people come to terms with
their condition and still find ways to maximise their potential.
