Message from Ronnie Whelan, Patron of myaware:
“I had never heard of myasthenia until my daughter was diagnosed with this debilitating disease. It was only when myasthenia touched my immediate family that I found out what it was, so I am really determined now to raise awareness about the disease and help families throughout Ireland. Through raising funds and awareness we can help those affected by myasthenia.”
