MELBOURNE SUPPORTERS for MS

A few weeks ago my niece Louisa, aged in her mid-thirties received the news that she had MS - multiple sclerosis.

The family didn't know much about MS but we're learning quickly and want to do all we can to support Louisa, her immediate family - husband Simon and two lovely young kids Maya and Eden and all people affected by MS.

So, we've formed a group called "Team Lou". We've entered the MS Walk and Fun Run Melbourne and will be pounding the pavement for a reason on Sunday 6 June.

We are walking and running to support people affected by Multiple Sclerosis, and we need your help.

Louisa's family are all Demon supporters. Her grandfather, Albert Reilly, played for the Demon Reserves back in the early 1950's and we're calling on Demon fans to get behind our efforts on 6 June by supporting Team Lou in the MS Walk and Fun Run.

Multiple Sclerosis is a disease of the central nervous system affecting more young adult Australians than any other neurological condition. Your donation will go towards providing a wide range of equipment, support and services to those people affected by this debilitating disease.

Did you know?

- The average age of diagnosis of MS is just 30 years

- 3 times more women than men are affected by MS

- There is no known cause or cure

Please take a moment to view my online fundraising web page and help us reach our goal. It's quick and easy and takes no time at all. You can donate securely online using your credit card by clicking on the link below:

Thank you in advance for your support. It is greatly appreciated.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
