ONE AIM - TO BEAT Multiple Sclerosis

Hello, my name is Kendra, but first let me thank you for taking an interest in my blog. I am very grateful that you have taken your time to take an interest in what I am advocating for. My chosen

My Story

This is my mum, she was diagnosed with MS when she was 35 and has managed to live a fairly normal life with some difficulties. Many people judge her because she can’t do as much as other people or walk for as long but she is still the same person inside. My mum is currently not in a

The MS society do a huge amount of fundraisers for MS and many people donate huge amounts of money for research. I am only asking for a small if not tiny donation that could change people’s lives for the better and help BEAT MS for the future.

I cannot thank you enough for reading my blog and I hope you are now more aware of the MS Society, the condition MS and how donations can help. I would be so grateful if you would leave a response about my blog and to express your opinion about my chosen charity. If you would like to know more about the MS society and more upcoming fundraisers, please visit the website on http://www.mssociety.org.uk/ for more information. I would be very thankful if you could donate or put a response to my following questions. 

charity is the MS society. Aims are really important when doing an advocacy, so I have chosen to do the following: Raising awareness, donating and changing attitudes. Most people do not know what MS is or what the MS Society does. I am here to explain. MS (Multiple Sclerosis) is a neurological condition which mainly effects the brain and the spinal cord, this condition effects 100,000 people in the UK. Ms for some people means that you can live a normal life but for others it cause much more chronic effects. This is why the MS Society was created. The society helps people adapt and manage living with the symptoms of MS. I think that you should support my advocacy because MS doesn’t just effect people in the UK, but people all around the world. It also gives people the support that they need when diagnosed with MS and helps to achieve fundraisers for research. I would like to change the way people think about people with MS as most people believe that it stops people from being able to do anything. Instead I would like people to see them for who they are and not hat they look like or do. 
wheelchair, however this may happen in later life. Some people don’t know they have MS and most people are diagnosed between the age of 20 and 40. Although MS is not directly inherited, some people do find that they have the condition from their parents. My mum faces difficult tasks during the day which means that she needs to have a rest to keep her energy up. The MS Society helped her overcome her diagnoses and has helped her manage living with MS.
