We wanted to offer our warmest wishes to Nina Cosgrove, a member of the Elsevier conference team, who was diagnosed with Primary Progressive Sclerosis (PPMS) in February 2015 aged 36.

“Over the last 18 months my mobility has declined and I now use a walking stick all the time. I am not able to walk any significant distance as I get very tired and my legs become stiff and heavy. As the condition suggests my symptoms will progress – I explain this to people by saying that each day I feel a bit worse than the day before”

Janet Seabrook, Head Of Conferences at Elsevier, is working with colleagues to organise a raffle for the staff to raise funds for the MS Trust. We wish you all the best!
