The Isle of Skye Golf Club is helping James Coull fight MS with HSCT in Mexico
The golfing season commences of Saturday 5th April and Members are invited to participate in a 'Mixed Scramble' event raising funds for local man James Coull.
Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation, HSCT is an established chemotherapy medical treatment demonstrated to be very effective at halting disease progression in neurologic autoimmune diseases, such as MS. The aim of this treatment is to reboot the immune system to stop it from attacking the protective covering of nerve cells in the brain, optic nerve and spinal cord, called the myelin sheath.
This treatment is not an option through the NHS, which is why James needs to go to Mexico for world-class medical attention that is internationally recognised, as you can imagine it comes at a significant cost.
The event is only a small part of organised fundraising to assist James with his trip.
