I did it, 5 hours 39 minutes which I was thrilled with. Thank you all very much for all the sponsorship and support.

I am now doing a marathon. I'm sure you'll agree that this is as demanding as my original challenge! I'm doing the the Rotorua Marathon in New Zealand on the first of May, I have ten weeks of intensive training ahead of me.
Having already planned to travel to NZ, this is also more cost effective for the charity as I am meeting every penny of the costs. So, better for the charity but tougher for me; I seriously need all the support and encouragement you can give!
Thanks again to everyone who has already sponsored me

I am taking up this challenge in memory of my Auntie Sue who suffered from MS. I hope to raise as much as possible to help the MS Society help the 100,000 people in the UK who have MS and face their own challenges everyday.
MS (Multiple sclerosis) is the most common disabling neurological condition affecting young adults. Its the result of damage to the protective sheath surrounding nerve fibres of the central nervous system.
It interferes with messages between the brain and other parts of the body, sometimes in periods of relapse and remission, for others it has a progressive pattern. The MS Society is the UK’s largest charity dedicated to supporting everyone whose life is touched by MS. It provides respite care, grants for home adaptations and mobility aids, education and training, specialist MS nurses and a wide range of information. It also has local branches which cater for people of all ages run by people with direct experience of MS. It also funds vital MS research projects in the UK. You only need to look at their facebook page to see how much they help people.
