9LWi MS Matters
Donation protected
Thank you for visiting our page!
9LWi are undertaking many different fundraising activities to help support the incredible work of the people at "The Shane Project".
We shall be baking cakes, sponsored silences (we all know how difficult that is for some of us!), bike rides and many more.
The Shane Project is a small local independent charity for people living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), their families and Carers. It was founded in April 2002 by Norma McFarlane when her two sons were diagnosed with MS. The charity is named after Shane, her eldest son who was diagnosed with Primary Progressive in 1993 but sadly passed away in December 2003.
Based on Norma's personal experience following Shane’s illness - the lack of available support which was further compounded by isolation, prejudice and the stigma - prompted Norma to set up The Shane Project, with a focus on providing support to those with MS from black and ethnic minority people (BME).
As members of the local community 9LWi strive to help The Shane Project by raising funds to pay for some of their essential activities like Reflexology and Tai Chi. Research tells us exercise can help you manage common MS symptoms, like fatigue, muscle spasms or balance. With the funding being cut in August, we aim to raise enough to keep it going.
Every penny matters to the Charity. Please donate as much or as little as you can.
Our biggest thanks (and the people you are helping at The Shane Project),
