In April, MS Ireland in conjunction with Oceans of Hope Challenge hosted the first “Introduction to Sailing” Day for people with MS, in Dun Laoghaire. This was a wonderful opportunity for 8 lucky members of the Irish MS community to spend a day out on the Irish ocean learning all about sailing and themselves.
MS Ireland is thrilled to announce the launch of its latest fundraising initiative – the Dip a Day Challenge! This exciting challenge invites participants to dive into action throughout the month of May while supporting the 10,000 people living with MS in Ireland.
Alanna Denny, a PhD candidate from University College Cork is conducting a research study to understand the lived experiences and perspectives of medication adherence in people with MS in the Republic of Ireland.
University College Limerick conducted a study with the aim of gaining consensus on a core outcome set for evaluating mixed diagnosis falls prevention interventions for people with Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease and Stroke.
Once the initial shock of an MS diagnosis has lessened somewhat, I think everyone begins to realise that MS is not just a physical journey; it’s a profound mental and emotional voyage that affects nearly 2.8 million people worldwide. This chronic, often disabling disease of the central nervous system has a notorious unpredictability, making its impact on mental health as significant as its physical impacts.
Oceans of Hope Challenge in conjunction with MS Ireland host the first Introduction to Sailing Day for people with MS in Dun Laoghaire this week.

Often people ask me what I do all day given that I don’t have a full-time job anymore. I assume the question is coming from a positive place - that there is a genuine interest in how many chronically ill people spend their days. If we don’t talk about these things, then we miss the chance to clear up any misconceptions.
