MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS SOCIETY OF IRELAND
FERMOY BRANCH NORTH & EAST CORK
The 43rd Annual Walk-in aid of the Fermoy Branch Multiple Sclerosis Society takes place on
Sunday the 16th of June from 10am–4pm (Father’s Day), in Glansheskin Forest Recreation Area
(Kilworth Wood). We are delighted to be back again this year in the beautiful forest landscape
and our committee members are looking forward to meeting you all on the day.
MS Ireland through their 29 voluntary Branches throughout Ireland provides a number of
valuable supports and service to people and their families living with the challenges of MS.
(Information Line: 0818 233 233). Our voluntary branch here in the Fermoy/North and East
Cork area, like all other branches across the country are a support network for people and
families living with MS in our community, and on our renewed walk we will have fun while at the
same time raising much needed funds. (No amount is too small).
So why not join the Facebook page Fermoy Multiple Sclerosis Society Annual Walk | Facebook
& view the updates. Invite your friends, family and work colleagues to knock the dust off those
walking boots and take the challenge for those in your local area with MS on Sunday 16th of
June. (Father’s Day).
