MEET SHIRLEY KEANE O'BRIEN
MS Readathon Ambassador Shirley Keane O’Brien “I found MS Ireland which was a crucial help when I was diagnosed. They were so positive and helpful. I go to their social events now. They provide physiotherapy and psychological support, as well as really good information.
“I’m only delighted to be the ambassador and help raise awareness of the MS Readathon. I remember it from the kids doing it in primary school. Now I’ll be doing it and loving every minute of it”.
