Hi All

Well here I am again. Loraine and I did our second charity can shake today at the Fort Shopping Centre in Birmingham. What a lovely day we had again!!! And again the sun shone. We must be doing something right.

We raised a staggering £222.37 – How fantastic is that? A great big THANK YOU to everyone who gave today. You make it all so worthwhile.

It never fails to amaze me just how friendly people are and willing to support us. So many people stop to talk to us as well as give us money. There are people who know others who have the disease and then there are those who are just generally interested in the MS Trust and why we are supporting them. Even a doctor, who obviously knew about the disease, wanted to know more about my son Noel and why I support the MS Trust.

In case you are wondering, I support the MS Trust because, since Noel was first diagnosed with MS, I have utilised the service for information on the disease and research into various treatments. I believe they provide an invaluable service and I have always found their information to be relevant and educational.

The MS Trust says, ‘The MS Trust is a UK charity, providing information for anyone affected by multiple sclerosis, education programmes for health professionals, funding for practical research and campaigning for specialist multiple sclerosis services.’

Til next time folks ........................
