charity zip slide

Hi there, I am taking part in a charity zip slide across the river clyde in Glasgow to raise money for the ms society. In order to do so I am required to raise £120 from sponsors. The ms society have set up an online account for me to do so and am looking for sponsors to help me reach this target.

The reason I decided to take part in this event is that I lost my uncle to ms a few years and seen the suffering he went through due to this disease. Multiple Sclerosis is a disabling neurological disease and the ms society provides care and suport for over 10,400 people who suffer from it.

Also ms society are able to claim gift aid on every donation made so even more money will be given to the ms society to help with research and equipment.

Donations can be made through the following link:

Thanks and any donation would be much appreciated.

    Best of luck Donna.

    There isn't enough support for people with conditions like MS in the UK, so everything you raise will make a big difference.
