If you are 18 - 40 years and would like to link in with other young people with MS you're invited to the Menlo Park Hotel, Headford Road, Galway on Saturday, 20th July from 2.30pm - 4pm to get together with other people from the West and Mid West areas. It is an opportunity to meet other young people with similar experiences, have a talk about what matters to you and hear what's going on.
In 2010, Emma Rogan set up an 'MS Meetup Group in Dublin. She tells us why...
'I needed to talk with other young people with MS, learn more about the condition and get some sense of control back. It's for people who want to meet new people, build friendships, take part in activities, share stories, experiences, develop a community and have a bit of FUN!'
Margaret, a 28 year old woman from Galway went to the MS ‘Meetup’ group in Dublin earlier this year, she said of the day
"I was a bit wary at first but I found it very useful talking to people of similar ages with similar difficulties. I learned from this group and left feeling more confident and comfortable about my diagnosis. How about we give it a go in Galway? We can meet once and plan from there."
