25th MS READaTHON Launches

The 25th MS READaTHON has officially begun! In the Wax Museum Plus in Dublin yesterday a whole pile of people came along to help us get another MS READaTHON under way.

Comedians Fred Cooke and Maeve Higgins and presenters Aidan Power, Laura Woods and Lorraine Keane popped along. Authors Marisa Mackle, Claudia Carroll, Maura Byrne and Marita Conlon-McKenna came along to celebrate too.

We were also joined by some fantastic kids and teachers from Clonskeagh Parish School and the O’Regan family from Clonmel. Abigail O’Regan and her family joined us last year as Ambassadors, helping us to teach kids and adults what its like to have a mum with MS. Abigail’s mum Alison was diagnosed with MS when 11 year old Alison was born. Learn more about Abigail, Alison and her sister Kaitlyn and dad Jim.

So now that these guys have done their work, its over the kids, teens and schools all around Ireland to sign up for the biggest MS READaTHON ever!
