Charity event a page-turner

YOUNG readers on the Northside are being encouraged to take part in a reading campaign which is aiming to raise funds for vital services for people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS).  

The 29th MS READaTHON began last Friday, October 7 and will continue until Monday, November 7. Last year more than 15,000 children took part in thecampaign. 

Ava Battles, chief executive of MS Ireland, said: “We are very grateful for the support from young readers, their schools and their families and the message so far has been ‘thank you for reading’ while at the same time we are encouraging as many schools as possible to sign up for MS READaTHON 2016.
