So for this week's competition we have a fantastic book pack up for grabs. All you have to do to be in with a chance of winning is answer the question below. GOOD LUCK!

Well what a successful competition we had. We had so many entries we didn't know where to look but we have selected our first winner of the year!

Elsie Ryan has been one of our fantastic school ambassadors from the very beginning. Her enthusiasm and humour makes each school visit unique... and a whole lot of fun! Here Elsie tells all of you how important each MS READaTHON school visit is.

Before MS I really took my health for granted. I rarely went to the doctor. I was afraid of needles. I didn't think about what I ate or what time I ate it. I took little things for granted like ticking 'no' when asked if I had any known medical conditions. I guess I never really had to consider these things before and each first that came along really got to me. When shopping for car insurance after my diagnosis I wasn't able to get many quotes online because I had to tick 'yes' to the medical condition. There are more obstacles in the way... extra paperwork!

**UPDATE**

“Hope” is a word full of meaning. A heavy-weighing word too. People with MS cling onto hope because at the moment there is not much else we can do. 

'Yes my MS is but I am not beaten into submission'

'MS & Me Blog marks one year by looking back and looking forward'

Writing blog posts for the 'MS and Me' website usually cost me nothing but my time and perhaps a bit of chipped nail varnish. This one has cost me hard cash. Let me explain. Given that I am writing about my children's understanding of their mother having Multiple Sclerosis for this blog, I decided that I should be rigorous in my approach and so, carry out some qualitative research and interview them.
