This pernicious and deadly disease needs stopping and the MS Society continues to fund essential research for both a cure for and treatments to best manage MS.

I am sadly aware that all too many of us know of incredibly courageous people battling with MS.  Many of my cohort had the honour of the friendship of a fine sportsman, utter gentleman, good man to so many and one of life's true heroes; Professor Tim Evans, who was taken tragically early from his family and friends.  So this fundraising effort for the MS Society is particularly poignant.  https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/simon-steel1
