Irish public transport: access all areas?
"At this stage, I thought “Do I really have to walk with my coffin under my arm to get a seat when I’m physically leaning on a walking stick while holding the handrail as if it was my best friend?”"
World MS Day 2014 in Ireland
Wednesday, May 28th is World MS Day. All over the world, people will organise events, wear orange, volunteer, work and/or attend conferences to raise awareness about an illness that so far, still cannot be cured. While 2014 is the ‘European Year of the Brain,’ this year’s World MS Day theme is ‘Access.’ Whether this means access to information, medication, support, buildings, rights or services, somewhere near you people with MS, their families and MS societies will step forward and express their need for more awareness, understanding and hope that one day, MS will be eradicated for good.

For more on World MS Day, please visit http://www.worldmsday.org/ This year’s tag-line is “One day…” where people with MS can add access-related mottos, questions and ideas to. Access is still a very important issue that needs more research, adaptation, laws, understanding, support and elimination of barriers before people with multiple sclerosis can lead a totally free, happy and healthy life.
