Comment on Hold on tight at Kite Festival! by Claire, MS Trust

The MS Trust was absolutely delighted to receive a cheque for £5000 from the Rotary Club of Royston. We attended the Kite Festival and had a wonderful time meeting members of the club and the public. A huge amount of effort must have gone into organising the festival, and we hope all members felt it was worth it. Fundraising is very hard in the current climate and so the £5000 raised by the Rotary Club really is an incredible achievement.

The MS Trust wishes to thank again everyone in the Rotary Club of Royston and all who attended the Kite Festival and gave so generously.

Just reading through your article really interesting read, I’d love to hear whether or not you decided to take Fampridine and if so what effect it had. Hope things are improving for you.

I have MS and often need to get to the loo quickly. I now have a radar key which does help as I often use it to open the disabled loo if there is a queue in the ladies. You do however have to have some disabled toilets to open with the key so if more and more of them disappear I’m going to have to go more and more behind trees and in alleyways! The scheme that encourages private shop/pub/cafe owners to let the general public use their loos needs to be promoted more and actively encouraged.

I am a regular Tweeter/Twitterer/Twit [feel free to delete as appropriate!] and I am really impressed by the level of support people give and get from sites like Twitter. Sure, sometimes people get fed up of spambots trying to sell miracle cures and favours of a dubious nature, but most of the time, I see people becoming friends, supporting each other through bad times and sharing good times.

One of the great things about Twitter is that you can be talking to people from all over the world in many different time zones. So, whether you need a friend at 6pm or 3am, there is usually someone to chat to. Not to mention the instant feedback you can get on whether something is a good idea or a bad idea – most people on twitter are not backward in coming forward.

Anyway, all this was a very long-winded way of saying, I agree with you. Computers have opened up a whole new world for some people, particularly people with MS.
