media relations

With under a month to go now till MS Life opens at 10am on the 22nd April, the media are starting to really get behind the event.  The Manchester Evening News have agreed to be a media partner to the event and our spokespeople Rain Pryor and Danny Wallace are both lined up to do a number of interviews over the next few weeks.

As we get closer to the event, our research programme gets stronger and more topical, on Sunday Prof John Greenwood will talk about the potential of Statins in MS.  Research into statins has shown that they may prove beneficial in a range of conditions, it is still early days but a number of exciting research programmes are underway and we hope to learn alot more about statins in the near future.  MS Life is your chance to find out more about the potential benefits – and risks.

It won’t all be research at MS Life though, within the interactive zone a group of young mums with MS will be there to discuss and answer questions about the reality of parenting when you have MS. 

Behind the scenes, we are all keen to make the event run as smoothly as it possibly can.  This week, our Chairman Tony Kennan along with MS Society staff will be meeting with the people in charge of NCP to discuss the logistics of accommodating so many visitors and to see how we can make the travel to G-Mex as easy as possible for those attending.
