My story

Thank you for visiting my page and for your support!

I must be nuts but I will running a marathon on 7th October in aid of MS Research.  My aim is to run the entire marathon, no stopping!  I'm probably better built for comfort rather than speed so this is certainly going to be a challenge.  All funds raised will go to MS Research who are working tirelessly to find ways to restore abilities lost as a result of MS and to find an eventual cure.  Your support will certainly help them with their research and help to spur me on along all of the 26.2 miles!

MS effects around 100,000 people in Britain, and as many of you know this includes my Mum and friend who was recently diagnosed with the condition.  Advances in science are leading to a better understanding of the disease and its potential causes as well as new treatment options, so please dig deep!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
