Fundraising
It may be that you know someone whose life has been affected by multiple sclerosis. You may even be living with MS yourself. Northern Ireland has one of the highest prevalences of MS in the world.
You can help us provide the strength to fight MS by getting involved and helping us to fundraise.
Here are a few ways you can support our work.

Donard Dander - Sunday 22nd August 2010
Making Every Step Count - Helping to Beat Multiple Sclerosis Slieve Donard is the highest mountain in Northern Ireland, at 850 metres. It provides spectacular views of the coast and as far afield as Belfast and Dublin. The mountain is an easy climb although the path is eroded at places. In recent years a stone path has been made on the steepest parts of the mountain.

The Fundraising department has just launched its new 2010 Fundraising Events Calendar. There are a variety of events planned this year from our Big Breakfast events to our Wheel & Walks, from the Ben Nevis Challenge to the Santa Dash & Dander - there should be someone to suit everyone.There are events that you can plan for yourself and friends on a date to suit you, such as the MS Summer Sizzler or the Cake Break event. Or perhaps you could involve your employer by nominating us for Charity of the Year or taking a collection box to place in your office.
For the more adventurous we have a number of overseas treks available. You can do all sorts of amazing things - from Dog Sledding in the Arctic to Jungle Trekking in Thailand, climbing Mt Kilimanjaro or Cycling the Great Wall of China!

Big Breakfast
Our Big Breakfast events are proving very popular. These monthly breakfast events take place at the Resource Centre in Belfast and provide people with an opportunity mix & mingle, meet some old friends and make some new ones. Cooked or continental breakfast is served between 08:30 am and 10:30 am. Our next BB event takes place on Tuesday 27 April as part of MS Week. Booking is advisable - Tel: 028 9080 2802
A minimum of £5 donation is required.
If the date doesn't suit you - perhaps you could organise your own Big Breakfast event for family, friends, and colleagues!
Ben Nevis Weekend 24 - 26 September 2010
Challenge yourself and complete our Ben Nevis challenge. When the weather is good the views from the top of 'Heaven Mountain' of the Western Isles of Scotland are truly spectacular. Over the weekend the emphasis will be very much about fun. Our group will walk the popular Tourist path up and down the mountain and we expect the walk to take up to 8 hours (5 hours up and 3 hours down). As the maximum gradient is just 1:5 any reasonably fit and active person should have no problem making it to the summit and down again - after the obligatory glass of champagne of course.Call us now on Tel: 028 9080 2802 for a Ben Nevis information pack - places on this event are limited so please book early.
