No matter what you give, your donation will make a difference to the lives of MS sufferers, whether they have mobility problems, problems with speech, crippling fatigue, blindness or all of these. But equally as importantly, even by visiting this web site you will have seen that MS does not need to be the end of their worlds. This is part of monsterski too: debunking some myths. Remarkably, for those with MS, life spans are increasing more than those in general populations, through careful use of diet, exercise and attitude. By staying fit and as healthy as you are able to, even those with MS can live as active a life as anyone else and occasionally do even more. This was my reason for monsterski – to show that it is possible if you try.

Donating through the JustGiving site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: the highly effective Multiple Sclerosis Trust will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you. No amount is either too small or too big - any amount helps, so please sponsor us online now. Many, many thanks.
