My story

I DID IT!! A painful 5 hours 34 minutes and 54 seconds but I DID IT!! 

Knowing that I had to see Daddy got me through it as he was positioned at mile 26!!

Over the last 6 months I have run over 160 miles, in all types of weather, up hills, over bridges and through puddles, but it was worth it.

I have almost doubled my original target amount and i so want ot get to the £4000 marker! I'm raising money for the MS Society. It is the UK's largest charity dedicated to supporting everyone whose life is touched by Multiple Sclerosis.  It invests in innovative research with the hope of finding more effective treatments for MS and ultimately the cure.

In MS, the immune system attacks the central nervous system, damaging the coating of the nerves that carry messages throughout the body. These symptoms can include pain, fatigue, loss of mobility or vision, depression, and spasticity. For some people, MS is characterised by periods of relapse and remission, while for others, including my Dad, it has a progressive pattern. For everyone, it makes life unpredictable.

You cannot catch MS and as yet there is no cure. 

If you can help me to double my original £2000 target to £4000 I will be so grateful.   


(And just to put your mind at rest:
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Multiple Sclerosis Society of Great Britain & Northern Ireland gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.)

So please feel free to sponsor me now!
