Story

<p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Hello and thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I really appreciate that you're taking the time to find out about what I'm doing.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 21.6px;">I've elected to really challenge myself, by attempting a three day ski challenge, the equivalent of skiing the height of Mount Everest every day! I'll be skiing over 90,000' in Tignes, France over three days beginning on the 3rd of February.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Over the years many of friends and colleagues have been affected by MS. Even though it affects so many people throughout the world, it's often over looked by fund raisers and I want to make a difference.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 18px;">To make a positive change I have put my energy into supporting the Multiple Sclerosis Trust. I'd really appreciate your support to help me raise money to the MS Trust to all them to complete their valuable work, supporting those with MS.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 18px;"> </span></p> <ul style="margin-top: 0.75em; margin-right: 40px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 40px; list-style-type: square; list-style-position: outside; list-style-image: initial; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.5em; padding: 0px;"> <li style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.3em; margin-left: 0px; padding: 0px;">MS is usually diagnosed in young adults. It is a complex and unpredictable life-long condition that attacks a person's central nervous system, often leading to physical and cognitive disability. We currently know neither cause nor cure.</li> <li style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.3em; margin-left: 0px; padding: 0px;">The MS Trust is working to enable people with MS to live their lives to the full by providing evidence-based information; educating health professionals about multiple sclerosis; and funding research to help people living with MS now.</li> <li style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.3em; margin-left: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="line-height: 18px; font-size: 14.4px;">More information about Monster Ski can be found at&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration: none; color: #009ddf;" href="http://www.mstrust.org.uk/monsterski">www.mstrust.org.uk/monsterski</a>, including the Monster Ski<a style="text-decoration: none; color: #009ddf;" href="http://www.mstrust.org.uk/interactive/monsterski/">blog</a>&nbsp;and photos from previous events on&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration: none; color: #009ddf;" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mstrust/sets/72157623743731135/">Flickr</a>.</span></li> </ul> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
