Step or Dip?

During the month of September, MS Ireland will have two different online challenges running STEPtember & Dip a Day. We wanted to add variety by giving people the option of choosing which challenge they would like to take part in and raise funds for MS Ireland during the month of September.

SPEAKING OUT - THE IMPORTANCE OF DISABILITY ACTIVISM

There is a fear of disability ingrained in many of us from a young age. Being disabled or sick is seen as abnormal. Those of us with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) often deny ourselves the joy of participating for fear of being stigmatised. Disability has typically been something to hide as it makes others uncomfortable. Since some MS symptoms are invisible many people choose to conceal their disease as they worry about being treated differently or being isolated. This is further perpetuated by ‘masking’- passing as ‘non-disabled’. Invisible MS is more ‘palatable’ to the ableist world we navigate, which is perhaps why stigma is still so rife.
