Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I am finishing University next year and I fancied a challenge!
My Uncle Richard Swan has had Multiple Sclerosis for the entirity of my lifetime, something which really makes me sad from time to time. My Auntie Doreen is an absoloute saint, for 23 years she has looked after Richard and cared for him in a very rural and cut-off location, always putting herself after my Uncle. I am doing this for both of them and for the charity as well as all the people around the world who have to deal with this devastating illness on a daily basis. The money raised will help the MS society to perform vital research with the hope of eventually finding a cure for this horrible illness as well as supporting carers of those suffering and providing support for MS respite centres.
The plan is to visit 22 countries in 28 days around Europe.
These are: England, Denmark, Germany, Czech Republic, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Slovenia, Italy, San Marino, Switzerland, Monaco, France, Andorra, Spain, Portugal, Luxembourg, Belgium, Netherlands, Wales and Ireland! Bring it on!
Hopefully all my travelling costs and expenses will be funded by myself (although I would really appreciate contrubutions). BUT ALL of the money donated on this page will go straight to the charity itself and I would really appreciate it if you could donate even just a little!
Here is what your money would go towards:

£54 could go towards an hour of ground-breaking research.
£100 could pay for a young carer to enjoy a well deserved break.
£1,500 provides a grant to a mobility scooter, giving a person back their independence.
Many Thanks
Wish me luck!
