How funders, researchers and clinicians come together

Genzyme in Waterford put the fun into running a few days ago when they organised a 5 mile road race around Waterford for the Waterford Voluntary Branch of MS Ireland. Over 300 people took part in the event which raised over €6000! First home was Frank Quinlan, with Martin Kirwan finishing a close second!

Government to change laws to make Sativex available in Ireland.

The 25th MS READaTHON has officially begun! In the Wax Museum Plus in Dublin yesterday a whole pile of people came along to help us get another MS READaTHON under way.

This year’s MS READaTHON has been taken over by a greedy red monster. He wants to eat as many books as possible and will chomp through all reading material in his path! His big claws can grab handfuls of books at a time and his big, sharp teeth shred books in seconds.

The MS READaTHON is 25 years old this year. In 1987 the world famous Author Roald Dahl launched the very first campaign, only a few months before he launched Matilda. Both historic events in his life I’m sure!
