On 26/may/18, my daughter Ciara was admitted to hospital in Cavan, having suffered a severe seizure, where she had a further two. She was diagnosed with MS on 31 May, the day after National MS Day (30 May). She had lost her left eyesight completely & had the distinctive 'wobbly walk' (as she called it!). Later diagnosed with Epilepsy too!! All too much for anyone I thought, & most certainly for someone 4 mths before her 18th birthday. It broke my heart, but I ''got myself together'' for her sake, such a strong determined young lady!! She had the pins & needles sensation in her leg. Full power & eyesight was restored. Ciara attends her monthly treatment in the Mater Clinic, Dublin for her MS Treatment. I did the Abseil in Croke Park, Dublin last year, to fundraise for MS, Ciara wanted to do it, but I thought it was too soon.. This year I am super thrilled that she is 'buzzing' with excitement to do the Abseil on 19/10/19.  I am also doing the Dublin City Marathon on Sun 27 Oct for MS, I hope everyone will wait for me @ the finish line tho.!!  I would be so greatful for any support, & to Ciara I just want to say ''I'm very proud of you & love you very much'' xxx Ps: I can be contacted at Dept Agric, Farnham St., Cavan - or donations can be made online to https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/mary-Mc-Kiernan. Best wishes to MS Ireland for the continued good work they do. Mary & Ciara - Cavan Town
