Hi, I am Orla Marron, the MS Readathon ambassador. I am excited to share that I will be reading and fundraising from the 1st of November to the 15th of December. I will be doing this alongside my children, Kyle and Katie, and their classmates at St. Michael’s National School in Donaghmoyne, Co Monaghan.

By picking up a book, you will not only enjoy a great story, but you will also be helping to raise funds to support the 10,000+ people living with Multiple Sclerosis in Ireland. There is still plenty of time to join us and make a difference—register here: MS Readathon

You can read my story below or watch a short video here where I discuss my MS journey and the importance of the 2024 MS Readathon.

What the latest budget updates mean for our MS community, so far, and how they could impact care and support.

MS Ireland's host Trevis L Gleason and a panel of international experts discussed MS at the End of Life and the more serious complications that very rarely affect people living with multiple sclerosis. Together, they explored ways to understand, prevent, and manage these issues.

Ever since I can remember, I have always dreamed of living by the sea. As a child, I loved visiting Howth, Bray, and Dun Laoghaire with my parents. I have so many fond memories of roller blading on Howth Pier and climbing Bray Head on rare sunny days. I remember eating 99s when they actually cost 99p and bringing home a bucket full of interesting shells and pebbles.

MS Ireland is proud to announce the expansion of the National MS Respite Centre with a launch by Minister for Disability, Anne Rabbitte.
