Day 18 - Cool runnings in Copenhagen

After a farewell breakfast with the lovely Maggie and Frida and lots of photos...........we set off for Copenhagen to go to a meeting!

                                           Bye bye lovely ladies - thanks for looking after us!
Our media consultants John and Marion Garrad had set up a meeting for us with the Scelrosis organisation in Denmark. So at 11.30 we were greeted by the very lovely Lotte who welcomed us in and showed us around. Lotte works as PR for the organisation and was really interested to hear our story.

Well, what a fantastic organisation they have here in Denmark. Having seen the wonderful centre they run in Haslev it was awesome to meet others within the charity. Lotte explained that anyone affected by MS can come to the office and see psycologists for help or ask any questions they may have. They had set up a website for kids of people with MS so that they can go online and talk to each other, this is facilitated by a doctor. They offer this service for adults also and have found it affective in getting men and boys to talk about their feelings.

We were joined by Irene who works in marketing and we had a delicious lunch together (from the amazing canteen). Irene asked us lots of questions and is keen to use us as a case study to promote fundraising in Denmark. She loved the idea of travelling from M to S.

We came away from the meeting feeling so happy, they had made us feel completley welcome and seemed genuinlly interested in what we are doing. We wish that the MS Society in the UK was this switched on.

Late afternoon we headed to our hostel and managed to catch the last canal tour of the city which was great. Copenhagen looks like an awesome city and one to explore in the future for sure.

Tomorrow we are off to Malmo and the start of the last leg of our journey.

Thanks so much for all you messages of support, we really do appreciate them and we feel confident we can make this last stint. Stockholm here we come.

Lots of love to you all, Hana and Sylvie xxxxx
