Peter Manning, APGM, was delighted to present a cheque in the sum of £1,000 to Paul Hampton, Fundraising Officer and Events Organiser for the Leamington/Warwick Branch of the Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Society. This was from money raised during his year as Primus Master of the Square Wheels Lodge No. 9966.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a condition that affects your brain and spinal cord. In MS, the coating that protects your nerves (myelin) is damaged. This causes a range of symptoms like blurred vision and problems with how we move, think and feel. More than 130,000 people in the UK have MS. In the UK people are most likely to find out they have MS in their thirties, forties and fifties. But the first signs of MS often start years earlier.
