Maybe before gushing about being #accessible & inclusive, ask at least 1 #disabled person whether the thing you've designed for them is fit for purpose. Never thought I'd see an #ableist ramp, but wow... – at Leeds, England

We'd like to say a huge thank you to @MarkWebb_ & the upUgo dream team who completed all 15 obstacles of the Urban @ToughMudder earlier this month, wheelchair in tow 👏 ♿️ all for Shift.ms 💚
Mark even mentioned his "next Tough Mudder", there's no stopping him!

How I feel after my adventures and a twitter takeover this weekend. (Actually what I said after 14 of 15 obstacles of #toughmudder completed)
Keith Pretty retweeted
Awake, aching and buzzing. So tired. Will shut up about it shortly but so much #teamwork and ingenuity to get me round each obstacle. Started with ‘just’ my friends and upUgo colleagues. Then strangers, volunteers, everyone...

Research shows: 3 in 5 people with #MS feel lonely because of their condition. If you’re living with MS - remember, you’re not alone. We’re here to help.

These simple methods can be so helpful, particularly early on. A notebook+pen in clinical meetings, keeping a written log and spreadsheets to track symptoms. They help you understand your own personal #MS better #MSWarrior #MsAwareness #MyInvisibleMS #StopMS #CureMS #MSResearch

Great meeting with @SamsBournemouth to discuss partnership working. So much support available for @bournemouthuni students - not just at time of crisis. Did you know that as well as their 24/7 phone line they also offer email and face to face support.
