I’m Nissa, the secretary for RollerSoc. I chose to fundraise for this charity as my family has received support from them.

Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a progressive neurological disorder. It is caused by degeneration or atrophy (shrinking) of nerve cells in multiple areas of the brain. This can result in problems with movement, balance and autonomic functions of the body such as bladder and blood pressure control.

My gran, Marilyn, passed due to complications caused by MSA in 2023. She was incredibly creative, loving and wonderful to be around. She loved singing and had a great taste in music. Some of the songs we’ll be playing at the fundraiser are from some of her favourite artists (like ABBA and Cher)!

My gran was always encouraging of my hobbies, rollerskating being one of them!

The MSA trust helps to fund research into curing MSA as well as providing support and information for those with MSA and their loved ones.

The money raised from this fundraiser will be donated to the MSA trust in memory of Marilyn.
