On Wednesday the 19th of August, Fleet Alliance colleague Darren Stevens will be shaving his head to raise funds and awareness for two charities supporting people affected by multiple sclerosis: MS Society and MS Revive.

The fundraiser is particularly close to Darren’s heart, with his dad having lived with MS for 40 years. He is hoping to raise as much as possible for both charities through the challenge.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, will help support the vital work of MS Society and MS Revive.

Please support Darren’s fundraising and donate via his JustGiving page:
Fleet Alliance is fundraising for Revive MS Support
