'Wheely good' fundraiser for MS Society

Wednesday, 29 March 2017 00:00

People with Multiple Sclerosis are being urged to take part in a fundraising event next month - with a wheel and walk event at the NSC.

The sponsored walk on Saturday, April 29th hopes to include anyone - whether able-bodied, those who need to walk with a stick, crutches or a frame, or who use a wheelchair or a mobility scooter.

The event coincides with MS Awareness Week which runs from April 24th to 30th and takes place on the NSC's cycle track.

Suzy Holland of the MS Society says the idea is to be as inclusive as possible.
