Mission 100 Orkney vs Shetland

Between April and August 2021, the inhabitants of Orkney and Shetland went head-to-head in an epic fundraising challenge! Here's how they got on...

Mission:100 is a fundraising challenge where we ask our supporters to raise £100 in 100 days. This helps us ensure that the 135 people diagnosed with MS each week have access to our Making Sense of MS publication.  

This fundraising event caught the eye of long-term supporter, Hayley Budge, who suggested the inter-island fundraising battle. Hayley led the Orkney Team, while Amy Uren headed up Team Shetland. Both of these incredible supporters have links to multiple sclerosis and have done a fantastic job promoting the event, recruiting over 500 members to join the dedicated Facebook group, with around 200 people taking part. At the time of writing, this challenge has raised over £30,000 for the MS Trust, which goes a long way to helping us keep our vital services running.

This event has been truly inspiring, with people of all ages taking part, the community spirit is incredible. Supporters have been running, baking, painting and selling plants to raise their £100. It has been a fun event for all involved, while never losing sight of the reason for doing it. We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has fundraised, with special thanks going to Hayley Budge and Amy Uren, without whom, the event would not have happened.
