My petition:
Sativex to be Widely Available for MS Suffers
This petition is to ask the goverment to make Sativex widely available to people who have Multiple Sclerosis (MS) to ease the symptoms of MS spasticity, spasticity can have a significant impact on daily activities.

The MS Society is looking to gain information about access to symptom management treatments, rejected by NICE.

Hi, my name is Tom Jackson, I'm 20 years old, and my girlfriend was diagnosed last year, been a bit of a roller coaster since then, but i think she's doing pretty well now, and wants to give something back to the people that helped her most. With that in mind, the both of us are planning on running the BUPA 10,000, with the aim of raising money for the MS society, a brilliant charity that helped her alot, and I'm sure has helped some of you guys too.
I'm really writing here to ask you guys if you could donate. I know MS is something that will have affected many if not all the people on this site, and I was hoping to appeal to you here to generate some real community spirit that we can use to drive funds straight where it is needed.
Please donate online at http://www.justgiving.com/tomjackson00
or text TOMJ £5 to 70070 to donate £5, or replace that amount with any whole number.
It really would be appreciated, and the money really would help lots of people, many not so unlike yourselves.
Thankyou
Tom Jackson

Founded in 2004, MS People UK is a community website and discussion forum by and for people with Multiple Sclerosis as well as for friends, families, supporters and those interested in this disabling condition.
If you’re newly diagnosed or want to ask about possible first symptoms, or if you’ve had Relapse Remit, Secondary or Primary Progressive MS for some time, a welcoming group of fellow MS sufferers is here to chat with you about MS symptoms, diagnosis and treatments.
The atmosphere is friendly whilst being compassionate, supportive and caring. Members also post about a variety of subjects not related to MS, as well as share jokes, talk about their hobbies, have fun, and more.
