FitzAlan House 24 hour cycle ride fundraiser for the MS Society
On Friday 14 February at 7am, for 24 hours, FitzAlan Prefects, Housemaster and Resident Tutor will embark on a fixed wheel cycle ride to raise funds for the MS Society.
Clement Hobley, School Captain says, "Our reason for choosing this charity can be explained by the personal experience of our assistant Housemaster whose sister suffered from MS for over ten years. She lost her sight, her mobility and her livelihood. The MS Society provided advice, support and ongoing care throughout this period. It also allowed her to spend time with others who suffered the same condition. She regularly attended meetings and was able to use the decompression chamber which was a great help to her. The nurses and specialists provided an excellent service to help her and others to cope with this debilitating illness. The society was one of her main supports, along with the people she met there, to help maintain her mental health when coping with this terrible and degenerative condition.
Donating to a multiple sclerosis (MS) charity is a powerful way to make a difference in the lives of individuals and families affected by this challenging condition. Every contribution, no matter the size, plays a vital role in funding essential research, providing support to patients, and raising awareness about living with MS. Small donations can add up to create significant change, and even the smallest gesture shows compassion and solidarity with those battling this degenerative disease. By giving what you can, you’re not just donating money — you’re offering hope and helping to improve the lives of those affected by MS. Together, we can make an impact.
There will be two fixed wheel cycles pedalled continuously over this 24 hour period, with each participant cycling for four hours. To read more and donate, please visit: FitzAlan Oratory Fundraiser for Multiple Sclerosis Society.
