The Shane Project is an independent charity for people living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), their families and Carers. It was founded in April 2002 by Norma McFarlane when her two sons were diagnosed with MS. The charity is named after Shane, her eldest son who was diagnosed with Primary Progressive in 1993 but sadly passed away in December 2003.

How it Started

Shane Story

Music mad Shane McFarlane was a 25-year-old DJ with ambitions of setting up his own record distribution company when he began to experience strange health symptoms. It started with a seemingly innocuous pain in his knee and was followed by tremors in his hands and an unsteady walk.

Unaware of what was happening, Shane continued to try and function as normal as he could

What is MS (Multiple Sclerosis)

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a disease of the central nervous system which damages the protective coating (Myelin sheath) around the nerves which transmit messages to all parts of the body, especially connected with the control of muscular and sensory activity.
