Multiple Sclerosis Research Initiative Fund What is the next fund-raising event, and when is it happening?

Multiple Sclerosis Research Initiative Fund I've finished plotting the route for my next sponsored walk to more than 700 newspaper offices and radio stations in mainland England - 5,262 miles in total. Strangely enough that's worked out at one mile for every day that my wife Gwen has had MS.

Multiple Sclerosis Research Initiative Fund What exactly is the Multiple Sclerosis Research Initiative Fund?
Multiple Sclerosis Research Initiative Fund It is a fund-raising initiative which started with a 1000 mile sponsored walk through England, Belgium, Holland, and Germany, following the route my father took with the Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) during WW2, in order to raise crucial funds for authorised MS research projects whose aim is to find the cause/cure for MS, and repair the damage done by MS. The sponsored walk raised a total of £ 9,188.42 and € 1,808.38 for the Myelin Project, The Accelerated Cure Project, Professor Compston at Cambridge University, and Bury MS Society.

Multiple Sclerosis Research Initiative Fund What percentage of the money I donate will actually go to research?
Multiple Sclerosis Research Initiative Fund For my part I will give one hundred percent of your donation. Not one penny will be used by me to cover fund-raising expenses of any kind.

Multiple Sclerosis Research Initiative Fund How do I know that my donation/s will be used to fund research?
Multiple Sclerosis Research Initiative Fund You can be secure in the knowledge that as your donations are going to registered charities, they must by law be used for the specific purpose they were made.

Multiple Sclerosis Research Initiative Fund Is the MSRI Fund a Registered Charity?
Multiple Sclerosis Research Initiative Fund The MSRIF raises funds for a registered charity - The British Trust for the Myelin Project (Charity No. 1000614), and an American National non-profit organisation - The Accelerated Cure Project, so it would not make sense to register the Multiple Sclerosis Research Initiative Fund as a Charity in its own right.
