In thanking the pupils who walked this year Mrs Callan said: “Thanks to the generosity, dedication and support of St Pius X College, over many years, the Walks for MS fund the extensive range of services provided by Action MS. Action MS supports people living with multiple sclerosis, their families and carers in Northern Ireland. St Pius X College really enjoyed their morning’s walk and Action MS is very grateful for their generous support.”
