<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p>
<p>On the 4th April 2011, my Mum, Wendy Brazenall, passed away. She had suffered with Multiple Sclerosis for 25 years. From 1997, Mum was wheelchair bound and for the last 7 years of her life, she was quadraplegic.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am sure that those of you who knew her would remember her for her kindness, sense of fun and ability to always look on the bright side of life. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>MS is a tragic illness that affects many people in the world. There is no cure, but research into the disease continues to make new discoveries. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ever since I was little Mum has always pushed me to do exciting things,and that is why I have decided to do this trek in her memory.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have never been much of a walker, but I have two legs which work and I might as well put them to good use. This trail has been coined as the toughest in Canada, to see what I am letting myself in for look at: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Coast_Trail">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Coast_Trail</a></p>

<p>I am going to do it in aid of MS research. This organisation's primary<span style="color: #555555; font-family: Verdana, 'Lucida Grande', Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;"> aim is to.. </span></p>

<p>Please please, donate anything you can. Mum was the most amazing woman I will ever know and I am so proud to be her daughter. Unfortunately she cannot be saved, but others can benefit from the work done by MS Research. </p>
