Hello all,
Every time I re-assure myself that everything is under control and I am on-top of the progression of this disease, I get a reminder that MS is out of anyone’s control. It decides when and where it will rear its ugly head and the only thing that is controllable, is how the situation is handled. That’s my whole issue with it. The inner strength, the resolve, is sometimes beyond our reach and this can lead to a bad day, a bad week or even an unwillingness to overcome difficult moments.
As some of you have noticed, I have added a new heading to my website ‘MS Stories’. We are encouraging others to share their stories, experiences and difficulties. So please, if you know anyone suffering, or associated with MS, do encourage them to get in-touch via the contact information online, so that we can help and support each other; that’s what Sportin MS is all about. I’ve had a very difficult 24 hours and it would have been great to jump in my car, park up outside a Sportin MS Centre and get help from others, talk about it and simply feel understood.
The website has also stepped up with a new method of donations, still with Just Giving but with a much easier option to donate either as a one-off or with a monthly subscription. They are also giving Sportin MS all of your donations with no fee!
Walton Heath Golf Club is about to start doing some amazing fund-raising for our dream. Recently sent to the members’ email chain, is a brilliant video explaining the whole ethos of Sportin MS. Hopefully this will raise a significant amount of funding, much needed to acquire some premises. Reigate Priory Hockey Club has also managed to raise over £700 for us with their end of season collections.
I would like to thank you all so much for the positive feedback and I look forward to achieving our dreams sooner rather than later.
Lots of love
Antoinette
