This year, MS Ireland are aiming to raise awareness and understanding of MS amongst the general public. MS Ireland has reached out to pharmacy chains across Ireland, urging them to participate in our awareness campaign. We are asking them to display facts about mutiple scleroosis (MS) in their stores, utilising a poster available on the MS Ireland website. Additionally, they're encouraged to share this information on their social media platforms.
My name is Stefan I'm 32 and live in London. I was diagnosed with MS in 2017. I am a teacher, a poet and a huge swimmer. I hope you enjoy this poem and also hope that you know that you are not by yourself in dealing with MS. I wrote this poem because my friend thought it would be a good idea and that it would help me. He was right and now I want to share my experiences with you. Always remember you are not alone! Enjoy the poem.
In early 2023, MS Ireland undertook a comprehensive survey aimed at delving into the experiences and needs of young adults aged 18 to 35 living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The survey, which 126 people responded to, sought to gauge awareness of and engagement with MS Ireland, experiences at the time of diagnosis, challenges faced, and suggestions for improvement.
On World MS Day – 30th May - we are hoping to get 10,000 people to Dip for Diagnosis to represent the 10,000 people living with MS in Ireland. Join us for a Dip on World MS Day – whether it’s a dip in the sea, river, lake, pool or a cold shower and raise funds and awareness for vital services for the MS Community. Register here
