On [date], [hosts' name] is hosting a My Supper for MS to raise [£how much - aim high!] for the Multiple Sclerosis Trust.
[Explain more about your supper - what, where, why...]
[If you have personal reasons for supporting the MS Trust explain here]
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common cause of neurological disability in young adults, affecting as many as 100,000 people in the UK. Everyone knows the negative images that a diagnosis can conjure up and whilst no one denies that MS can be devastating, positive steps can be taken to improve quality of life. MS may be incurable but it is far from untreatable.
The MS Trust is a leading independent UK charity for people with MS, their families and friends, and for all health and social care professionals who work with them. They provide information, professional education and fund practical research.
