A teenager living with multiple sclerosis (MS) will share her experiences with the world after being asked to write an online blog for her local newspaper.

Patsy Peebles, 15, will regularly update the Newcastle Evening Chronicle's Purely Patsy blog site with information on how MS affects her schooling, social life, thoughts and feelings in a bid to give hope and support to others in a similar situation.

Patsy was diagnosed with MS in 2006 but has remained positive, helping the MS Society to raise awareness of MS in children and young people.

Patsy told the Chronicle: "I'm trying to stay positive and I want to help other young people to cope with MS.

"Hopefully people will read how I'm getting on and it will help them."
