Edinburgh to London 2007 = DONE |
|
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!
Despite a few aches and pains, The Ms Nificent 7 have completed their mission. After 32 days on the road they finally reached Downing Street on Thursday 16th August. They were even an hour and a half early so had a well earned drink in the pub opposite before they took the last few steps up Downing Street to the door of No10. In true style Gordon Brown was not in but the message was delivered anyway.
Many thanks to all who supported us, sponsored us and those who took time out to walk with us.

Seven people the MS-nificent 7, all of whom suffer from varying degrees of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) will attempt to walk, push or electrically propel themselves by wheelchair etc from Edinburgh to London in 1 month.
Their mission, aside of completing the walk, will be to hand a "Message in a Bottle" to 10 Downing Street highlighting the needs and lack of support for Multiple Sclerosis sufferers and the importance of increased funding for MS in such areas as stem cell therapy, safeguarding the interests of future sufferers.
The walk will commence on the 16th July 2007 from Edinburgh, 10 years to the day that James Coke, one of the walkers was diagnosed with MS. It will end on the 16th August 2007 outside Downing Street, London when a symbolic "Message in a bottle" will be delivered by the MS-nificent 7 to the Prime Minister.

The aim of the Edinburgh to London walk is to raise in excess of £250,000 for research into finding a cure for Multiple Sclerosis.
As a team we have agreed to donate the money we raise to the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
For each pound that you donate, the Government will provide a tax bonus of 28%, meaning if we hit our target we’re raise a staggering £320,000
 If you would like to find out more about the MS-nificent 7 walk from Edinburgh to London, if you would like to take part or help out, or if you would like to consider helping out with sponsorship, we would love to here from you.

All profit from this project will be going to the MS Society to help fund future reseach and to help those whose lives are affected with multiple sclerosis.
Thanks for reading, enjoy the rest of the site and we look forward to hearing from you.
