An as always inspiring @mssocietyuk Stop MS Lecture tonight.
Great to hear about the ways in which amazing advances with MRI scanning are helping drive forward MS research, treatment and diagnosis.

For 6 months those on legacy benefits have gone without the vital extra support people on #UniversalCredit receive. 6 months of silence from the Government. @theresecoffey, disabled people cannot be left behind any longer - #IncreaseDisabilityBenefits now bit.ly/3aqRmmf

A recent survey found that 7 in 10 people with MS couldn’t speak to a rehabilitation professional when they needed to as a result of Covid 19.

A trial of cancer drug bexarotene has proven that human myelin can be repaired. Now, a trial of diabetes drug metformin will build on this work.
Repairing myelin is vital to stop MS. Prof Alasdair Coles explains the results, and how repairing myelin can stop MS progression ⬇️📽️

New @mssocietyuk research shows people with MS aren't getting the support they need to stay active and independent. I've asked my local health leaders to make sure people with MS can keep moving forward. Please join me: mssoc.uk/35PrkL4 #TooMuchToLose

Recent survey found.
17% of donors expect to give more to charity in the next 12 months, compared to 12% who expect to give less.
Conversely in August, only 54% of the public reported having given to charity in the last 3 months. The lowest level of giving ever recorded.

Are you a good listener and able to spare an hour or two a week to provide support to those affected by MS?
If so, our MS Helpline team would love to hear from you! Find out more about volunteering as part of a supportive, and caring team: mssoc.uk/2CqlIdM

That was a tricky few days of fundraising. I'd like to buy some new legs and shoulders now.
I carried everything, camped wild and didn't miss a single km
All to support 3 amazing Multiple Sclerosis charities. @mssocietyuk @MSTrust @shiftms

No one should have to choose between their job and their health. Please join me in asking the UK Government to support people with conditions like MS who can’t safely go back to work. petition.parliament.uk/petit…
