Although I live in Northern Ireland and would not be able to get to this eventI hope it is a resounding success; it is particularly poignant as I have just read of the death of someone who I knew as a young man about 25 years ago in our local camera club, who developed multiple sclerosis. The death notice said he dies peacefully so I suspect MS was the cause. It is certainly sad, but I see that he leaves a wife and child, which he must have fathered after developing the disease. His family life, and, I imagine, his strong religious convictions, will I hope have helped bring him comfort through the long years of declining health.

Another person who I went to school and whose father eventually died from the disease sadly also developed it in his 20s and was dead within 10 years.

Does anyone know of anyone in the folk music field who suffers or suffered from MS? I can remember that the British (?Scottish) pop music DJ Stuart Henry developed it many years ago; though I never heard of him dying I would be surprised if he was still alive.

Truly a very frightening disease just as worthy of attention as AIDS.

Most people know that I have M.S., which is one of the reasons Folk for M.S. got started.
In my case, however, the syptoms are comparitively mild and are only developing slowly, I'm just glad to be able to help those more severly afflicted with the disease.

(Tickets for 11th june are begining to sell quickly, don't miss out!)

All the best,

Hovering Bob
