I dont have a "story". You just need to ask anyone affected by this indescriminate, invasive and at times physically and mentally unbearable condition, how it has impacted on every aspect of their lives, to know that every single penny raised for the MS Society will go some way to help find a cure and help those suffering and those immediately affected by it have a better quality of life.

The MS Society say that I am supposed to raise 120 pounds - no not lose 120 pounds before some smarta**e says it first so as I say any contribution would genuinely be hugely appreciated, especially in these tough times. So I am "running" in the loosest possible sense of the word the Edinburgh 10k on 25 May. My aim is to do it in under an hour - I know Mo Farah eat yer heart oot but that is my goal nonetheless. I did a 10k oh about 25 years ago - aarrghhh !- and did it in just over an hour so yup with the BIG ONE fast approaching I want to beat my younger self - & then have a few beers after - well some things never change !! Cheers guys
