In October last year our daughter Ciera, at the age of 26, was suddenly hospitalised for over a month. She was diagnosed with the life changing and disabling disease Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Currently there is no cure for this disease that affects the brain and central nervous system, however, the treatment that Ciera now gets is all because of ongoing vital research. During October I have decided to take on the 100km MS Woof challenge with our beloved dog Bonnie Blount to help support future research to stop MS and would welcome and be so grateful for any donations to this cause. Any donation will make a difference to the lives of people affected by MS. Here are just a few examples of what your money can do...£50 - is enough to operate a high powered microscope for an hour to study cells and tissue affected by MS at the necessary resolution. £100 - is enough to process 4 blood samples and extract information about genes and the immune system that is vital when testing out new treatments. £250 - is enough to run an MRI scanner for an hour and provide the detailed images of the brain crucial for understanding MS progression. We are currently funding projects that use MRI scanners to carry out trials and understand MS in more detail.
