All the money raised will go straight to the MS Society to help those that suffer from Multiple Sclerosis.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common disabling neurological condition affecting young adults. Around 100,000 people in the UK have MS.
MS is the result of damage to myelin - a protective sheath surrounding nerve fibres of the central nervous system.
When myelin is damaged, this interferes with messages between the brain and other parts of the body.
For some people, MS is characterised by periods of relapse and remission while for others it has a progressive pattern. For everyone, it makes life unpredictable.
Once diagnosed, MS stays with you for life, but treatments and specialists can help you to manage many symptoms well. Although its cause is not known and a cure has yet to be identified, research continues into all aspects of the condition.

 
There are three main types of MS, each with its own characteristics. Regardless of the ‘type’, some people may be only mildly affected throughout their lives, while for others the effects may become quickly noticeable. Most people with MS experience something in between these extremes. It is not always clear what type of MS someone has, particularly when newly diagnosed and regardless of the type, health professionals will base symptom management on individual needs.
Relapsing Remitting MS
MS is nearly always described as a relapsing remitting condition – meaning that symptoms appear (a relapse), and then fade away, either partially or completely (remission).
For most people with MS, this is the way their MS begins, except for the small group of people who have primary progressive MS (about 15 per cent of all people with MS).  
Secondary Progressive MS
Most people with relapsing remitting MS eventually develop ‘secondary progressive’ MS – around 65 per cent have developed it after 15 years.
Secondary progressive MS, as the name suggests, sees a progressive increase in people’s symptoms, but this progression can be very slow. Changes might be so slight that they are hard to notice for a long time.
Primary Progressive MS
Primary progressive MS affects about 10 to 15 per cent of people diagnosed with MS. It is called this because from the first (primary) symptoms it is progressive. Symptoms gradually get worse over time, rather than appearing as sudden attacks (relapses). 

There are different ways to tackle the problems caused by MS. Disease modifying drugs can help to reduce the frequency and severity of relapses, while many MS symptoms can be effectively managed using a variety of treatments.
Disease modifying drugs are not a cure for multiple sclerosis (MS), but they can reduce the number and severity of relapses. It is not yet known whether any of these drugs will slow down the rate of disability in the long term.
It is estimated that between 50 and 75 per cent of people with MS have used complementary or alternative medicine as part of their lifestyle.
