Story

Thank you for visiting my page and considering helping me raise some money for the MS Society.

MS is a disease very close to my heart and this is my small way of raising some money while getting fitter all in the name of doing some good in this world. 

My fund raising idea is simple. Its Mikes' Home From Home Walk and will take place in October 2011. I wanted to set myself a target of a 20Km walk but when I got my idea, it actually raised to 22K. The route is simple. Its starts in Milton Road, Waterloo, where I grew up and spent 26 years of my life and it ends at Palace Road, Southport which is where I currently reside...thus Home From Home. 

MS is a shocking disease, there are lots of people who suffer on a daily basis with some of the most crippling symptoms that you could imagine. A lot of people are permanently disabled and rely on the care of others to get them through day to day life.

While there is lots of effort put into managing this disease, there is no cure. And, while there are plenty of medicines available to manage symptoms, there is nothing to undo or reverse symptoms. Therefore charitable organisations exist to ensure that money goes in the right direction for research and that money raised is used to make the lives of people who suffer more comfortable. 

22Km is a big ask for me. I have lost a bit of weight in the last few years and walking is something I find both fun and also, stress busting! I will be there with plenty of rock music to keep me going!
