Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As many of you may/may not know my mam has MS, and has had it with a number of years. This year I have decided to do the VHI Women’s Mini Marathon on June 6th for MS Ireland, the money that I raise will go directly into research for finding a cure for MS.

There have been many articles in the recent past about potential breakthroughs but more research is required to ensure that these treatments are safe and will do what is claimed.

Along with doing the mini marathon, I am going to raise funds by getting sponsorship to cut over 17inches of my hair off!! Yeah, I’ve never done the short hair thing before but hey, it’s for a good cause!!! The pony-tail itself will be going to http://www.littleprincesses.org.uk/ who use real hair to make wigs for children that have lost theirs’ due to various illnesses.

This is happening on June 4th in The Shamrock Inn Hotel, Lahinch. There will be music and finger-food on the night, along with a big scissors!

With the huge increase of people being diagnosed with MS in the West of Ireland, you could be part of finding a cure for it.

So I would very much appreciate any donations big or small towards MS Research, every little adds up. You never know we could cause the ripple in the water to finding a cure!!
