First Oral MS Drug Available for People with MS in the UK

Fingolimod the First Oral MS Tablet was approved yesterday for people in the UK. After review by NICE Fingolimod can now be considered as a second line treatment for people that may have failed with other MS medications like IV monthly treatments and daily injections. So a welcome relief and also increases choice.

Drag Racing & Multiple Sclerosis Feature on BBC Radio

Following my last interview with Jon Briggs, from The BBC's Weakest Link, on BBC Radio Berkshire I was invited back on Sunday the 27th of March to share a little more about my MS Story. Sarah Walker & Ady Williams talked to me about how it feels to live with MS and my interest in Drag Racing (The Fastest Motor Sport on Earth) at Santa Pod Race way and around the world! Sarah was keen to find out how you can start drag racing, what training is needed to get your license and Ady asking about the cars & different classes you can race in.
We also chatted about my other sporting interests such as Sailing with Sailing Ventures in Lymington Hampshire to support my aspiration to compete in some Yacht Racing this year to Raise Awareness about MS.
The interview is available on BBC IPlayer until Sunday the 3rd of April. Follow this link if you fancy listening. My piece starts after about 1:52 mins and finishes at around 2:24. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p00fm18d/Debbie_McGee_Dragracing_and_Multiple_Sclerosis/
Thank you so much BBC Radio Berkshire and all of the fantastic team that helped to make this happen to help raise awareness about MS.

2011 My Sailing Adventures with MS

I am starting my RYA Sailing Practical Crew Training with Sailing Ventures Sailing School next. Hope will meet new friends and share info about MS that wants to know more.
First of all, with help from my expert teacher Matt Fordham from the Sailing Ventures Team A 5 Day Comp Crew training course is needed to learn all of the essentials to be part of the Crew. I am really excited and had some great information and help from RYA Sailability Team too. Fingers crossed I will succeed so am then able to Start Yacht Racing for the 2011 Racing Season with Sailing Ventures.
