Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page, follow my progress on twitter #drbobtiara.

I've always wanted to run the London Marathon and in 2014 I have my chance.  At the same time as subjecting my knees to 26.2 miles, I wanted to take the opportunity to do something to help a charity active in an area dear to the hearts of my family and I, which is why I'm running to raise funds for the Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Society.

I know how vitally important their work is to the 600,000 people who are directly impacted by MS in the UK as unfortunately my brother-in-law now lives with the disabling neurological disorder.  Living with MS means that the messages between the brain and the rest of the body are confused and unpredictable, making mobility and independence increasingly difficult.  MS has a devastating impact on people's lives, shattering their quality of life and stays with them for life.

The MS Society are funding the search for a cure and development of more effective treatments, as well as providing specialist care, practical advice and support to all those affected by MS.  They need help to keep helping people with MS take control and lead the lives they want to lead.

I'd be thrilled if you'd consider making a donation through this page.

So, to the slightly more fun bit ... if you make a donation and include #drbobtiara in the comments box AND these donations add up to £1250 then I've promised to run the marathon in a tiara designed and styled by my hugely supportive colleagues at work (thanks chiefly to Ben, Anna and Eamonn).  If they are successful in getting me more than £1500 of #drbobtiara donations then I'll add a tutu to the outfit (provided it is Claret and Amber) and for more than £1750 of #tiara donations who knows ...

Thanks for reading and for all of your support!

Bob
