The family of a Morecambe woman with MS are holding a fun day to raise money for specialist treatment not available on the NHS.

Samantha Burns was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis 13 years ago and is now wheelchair bound.

She has exhausted all the NHS treatment options and her family have now found a specialist clinic in Cyprus which offers an intensive personalised treatment programme.

A gofundme has been launched to raise money to fund Sam’s treatment, travel expenses, hiring of equipment for use in her hotel and anything else related to this.

A fun day is being held at The Park in Lancaster in aid of a wheelchair-bound woman with MS who needs to raise £30k for specialist treatment abroad.
