Virginia Swinhoe-Standen (née Gilmour)

12 April 1960 – 9 May 2009

Multiple Sclerosis  affects around 100,000 people in the UK.  There is no cure for it and much more research needs to be done.  There is also a most important need to train nurses and healthcare services about MS, to train specialist MS physiotherapists, to educate and provide information and support for social services, for carers and for families. 

  Virginia was very gentle, kind and generous and she always looked for the best in people.  She bore her illness with extraordinary courage, great humour, good grace, dignity and enormous spirit.  We will cherish her memory always.
