The Manx MSA Trust was set-up in 2016 by Chris Blake, who was diagnosed with MSA in 2015 at the very young age of 39. Chris sadly lost his battle with MSA in March this year, but we are determined to continue Chris's aims of the charity which include, supporting patients and families of MSA sufferers in the Isle of Man, raising awareness of MSA, particularly in the medical profession in IOM and funding research to find an early diagnosis of MSA, through a blood test. All funds raised from the Parish Walk will go towards these key aims.
