We want you!

I really want MS Life to be the biggest and best event of its kind ever held in the UK, or indeed Europe.

For that we need you! Some 1500 of you have already registered to come and over half of those have MS. So if you’re thinking about coming do it now and register. The more the merrier. I’m particularly pleased to see that over two hundred younger people with MS have registered and I’m really looking forward to meeting as many of you as possible.

Research briefings are a very important part of MS Life. We’re going to make Tysabri one of the featured topics as we know many of you want to know more about this new drug.

And finally a little trumpet-blowing! I’m delighted to say that The Guardian has agreed to be our media partner for MS Life. That’s not only recognition by a national newspaper that this is a significant event but will give us the chance to attract even more people to Manchester. So if you’re registered I look forward to seeing you. If you haven’t taken the plunge, the water’s warm, it’s going to be a great event!
