Dear all,

 I am taking part in the BUPA GREAT MANCHESTER RUN on the 16 May 2010 and will be running 10k in order to raise money for MS research (Multiple Sclerosis).

 

Most of you know that i live in the gym, so i have decided to put all these years of keeping fit to some good use and give a little back to helping research and develop a very worthy cause.

Currently there is no cure for MS, and the disese can affect anyone at any age throughout their life with devastating effects. 

 

What is Multiple Sclerosis?

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disorder that affects the central nervous system, (CNS) comprised of the brain and spinal cord. In the CNS, nerve fibers or axons are surrounded by a layer of insulation called myelin. Myelin allows nerve signals to travel properly.

In MS, the myelin is destroyed (demyelination) on the brain and spinal cord. The scarring, located at multiple sites in the CNS, disrupts transmission of messages that communicate a desired action from the brain, through the spinal cord, to various parts of the body. The inflammation produced by MS damages the axons themselves and can cause permanent loss of function. In the process, the cells that produce myelin can also be damaged. This limits the ability of the brain to repair damaged myelin.

Who Gets Multiple Sclerosis?

MS is more common in women, and  is most commonly diagnosed in individuals between the ages of 20 and 50, although it can develop in young children and teens as well as older adults. Two hundred people are diagnosed with MS every week and over 2.5 million people are living with the disease worldwide.
