‘I would go tomorrow... I wouldn’t even pack’

A MAN whose quality of life has been destroyed by multiple sclerosis (MS) is hoping that by turning himself into a human guinea pig he will be able to offer hope to his sister and other people who have the disease.

Vernon Mulqueeney, 39, from Newbridge, Co Kildare, was diagnosed with MS in 2002 but believes he developed symptoms of the disease eight years ago.

Mr Mulqueeney’s older sister, Laura, 41, was diagnosed with MS six months ago but the disease has not yet travelled from her spinal cord to her brain.
