Maderia Beach 1/2 Marathon · 13 December 2009

Over 100,000 of us in the UK have MS. It’s unpredictable and different for everyone. But it doesn’t have to be this way. We’re the MS Society. We understand what life’s like with MS. We're here for you through the highs, lows and everything in between. Together, we are strong enough to stop MS.

Story

My wife Gillian was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2007. She has recently had a story published on the BBC's website http://www.bbc.co.uk/mystory/stories/survival/148680/. If you haven't already, please read her story and if you like it, please click 'I like'. It is a competition after all...

Gillian is trying to raise awareness of MS in Scotland, her story is currently the 'most liked' story in the competition. I am very proud of her and decided that I needed  to do something to help raise money for MS research. I've decided to run my first 1/2 ,marathon in 4 weeks time, up until a few weeks ago I hadn't run any further than 3 or 4 miles. 13.1 miles seemed like a long, long way...

With 4 weeks to go I've managed to run 9 miles (I am built more for comfort than speed!!) I hope to run 11 miles tomorrow and 13 miles next weekend.

The 1/2 marathon is the day after our annual Christmas dance... free food and drink...aaargh...

Please help me.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Ronnie
