The innocence and compassion of childhood are qualities that I often wish we carried through to adulthood. If they had, I believe they would make us more empathetic and understanding human beings.

MS Ireland are delighted to announce that we will be hosting our National Conference on Saturday, 16th September 2023 in The Radisson Hotel, Athlone.
During the month of September, MS Ireland will have two different online challenges running STEPtember & Dip a Day. We wanted to add variety by giving people the option of choosing which challenge they would like to take part in and raise funds for MS Ireland during the month of September.
MS Ireland is asking people across Ireland to challenge themselves by doing our 10,000 steps a day Challenge in September.

There is a fear of disability ingrained in many of us from a young age. Being disabled or sick is seen as abnormal. Those of us with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) often deny ourselves the joy of participating for fear of being stigmatised. Disability has typically been something to hide as it makes others uncomfortable. Since some MS symptoms are invisible many people choose to conceal their disease as they worry about being treated differently or being isolated. This is further perpetuated by ‘masking’- passing as ‘non-disabled’. Invisible MS is more ‘palatable’ to the ableist world we navigate, which is perhaps why stigma is still so rife.
