The MS READaTHON is the biggest campaign run by MS Ireland but this year we thought we’d push the boat out and make it a little bit bigger. We can’t help but get excited about our new School Visit Programme. The overall aim of the programme is to teach children about MS in their local area and introduce the school to the MS READaTHON. This programme was designed to complement the other new interactive parts of this year's campaign - the Teacher Resource Pack and Abigail's Story.

We feel very lucky to have such enthusiastic youngsters involved in the campaign and we are always absolutely delighted when our MS READaTHONers send us something in the post. Over the years we have received letters, cards, photos and book reviews and all are proudly displayed in our HQ.

We are taking things up a gear this month in MS READaTHON HQ so keep reading for the latest happenings!

Here at MS READaTHON HQ we are always interested in learning about all things literary and this week we would love you to help us out by filling in a short survey about your reading habits.

We are absolutely thrilled that Regina Nathan is holding this concert to benefit the Friends of the MS Care Centre fund. We are very excited about this special event and know it will be a big hit with music-lovers far and wide.

Join us for a wonderful night of song and music in Terenure College Hall. Regina is joined by Anne-Marie O'Farrell (Harpist), Victoria Massey (Mezzo Soprano), Padhraic O'Cuinneagain (Piano) and The Tallaght Youth Band.

Tickets are €25 (including a complimentary glass of wine) and all proceeds raised will benefit the Friends of the MS Care Centre appeal.

Members of the Shiatsu Society of Ireland have kindly come on board to support our campaign. 

The winners in the Great Prize Draw were announced on Tuesday, 25th January on RTE 2’s “Elev8”. A big thank you from the MS READaTHON Team for reading and supporting MS Ireland.

We’ve received a lot of queries over the last week from parents and teachers asking if it’s too late to send back entries for the MS READaTHON. It’s never too late to send back entries so if you still have outstanding forms to send in, please send them into us and remember, no matter how late we receive entries, all participants will still receive their Thank You Gift and Certificate.
