Walk A Mile For MS Research

Could you walk ONE MILE and help to raise funds for research?

Charlotte and Josh joined me  for  a mile in Norton CanesIt's easy to walk a mile, and it only takes about 15 minutes on a good day.

During my last 1,000 mile walk, through England, Belgium, Holland, and Germany, following the route my father took with the Cameronians during WWII, your sponsorship totalled an inspirational £10 a mile. If just one person from each town I will be walking through this time would walk one mile with me and raise a tenner or more, the total raised throughout the country would be a significant boost for research.

My wife, Gwen, was stricken by Multiple Sclerosis sixteen years ago at the age of 32. I have watched a fit, healthy, young woman gradually being forced to come to terms with a fearfully debilitating illness.

Research is getting closer to an effective treatment for MS - at present there is absolutely no treatment for people with progressive MS, like my wife, Gwen, but Professor Ffrench-Constant in Edinburgh says he will wipe out MS altogether in 15 years and I'm convinced that if there was more money for research that time frame would be much shorter; 15 years is much too long for many people with MS.

Please click here to send me an email if you could walk a mile for research.

Sponsor a mile, I'll walk it, and let you know when I've done it!

The one aim of the Myelin Project is to accelerate research into remyelination of the damaged nerves caused by Multiple Sclerosis and the Leukodystrophies which affects adults and children. They do not receive any government funding or lottery money so there is no red tape that could tie up funds and keep them from taking immediate action towards a promising research. Their Trustees receive no salary, as they do not want to take funds away from their intention - to find that breakthrough!

A Stranger In Your Town by The Mayor of Berwick-upon-Tweed, Hazel Bettison.

The Mayor of Berwick upon Tweed, Hazel Bettison

There's a stranger walked through our town today
From the minute that I saw him
My heart went out to him

The journey that he's walking
Is a long and sometimes a lonely road
Walking from my town, into your town

There is a purpose to his mission
To walk for miles and miles
To raise a great awareness for MS sufferers
So others can hopefully find a cure

Listen to his words
He tells a special tale
Not of himself but of those for whom he walks each mile

So if you see this lonesome stranger
Walking through your town
Spare some funds for his purpose & his mission
To find a cure for others with MS

Take the time to talk a while
Offer if you can your hospitality
A warm drink & a meal
The comfort of a bed is even better if you can

He is a selfless man
For only others is his goal
A warm and cheery smile, he'll surely bring to you

He's a stranger walking through your town
Back pack on his back
Walking 5,000 miles for MS please give generously
Andy is his name
