Just received my Autumn NRAS magazine and It has made me realise just how much they do for us. There are pages on people managing to go sailing even in wheelchairs there are pages on pages on benefit questions, pages on fundraising , on biological drugs and pages on research.there are also lots of tips and advice , one from our MattCass! If u look carefully there are pictures of my tea party, u can see all of us after stuffing our faces and a picture of me and Debs in Barcelona! The clean version! The other one was us two draped over the delegates lol !

I am telling you this not to say look at me, well yes,, do! Cos when I became a paid member of NRAS and got the magazines I could see how much fun you get from volunteering and how much it improved my life having this membership!

Also Christmas cards from Nras and money wallets ordered from the comfort of my sofa, wot more does a girl want! Lol, speech over, off to read the research pages and what NrAS are doing with MPs in depth xxxxxx

Thanks Allanah for your kind comments. Your support means a lot and allows us to continue all that work! Your Christmas Cards are in the post today :) Enjoy the rest of the magazine!

I will second that Allanah:-) I also received the latest copy of the NRAS magazine today and have been dipping into it on and off all day - it's really good to know that we have the NRAS Team expertly fighting our corner!
