My story

 

On November 1st, Tom Pope, Daniel Large, Simon Chivers and Oliver Morgan will be running 26.12 miles across the 5 boroughs of the Big Apple in the ING New York City Marathon.

3 of us, Tom, Dan and Simon, will be flying over to Meet Olly in the USA to join 37,000 others and raise money and awareness for the Multiple Sclerosis Resource Centre,  a charity with much personal affiliation.

As a four man team, we have a combined sponsorship total of   £10,000  and we need your kind help and support in reaching our target. The UK boys will be running a number of events including quiz nights, football, barbeques as well as live music whereas Olly will be arranging a secret auction from New York to help us reach our goals.

MSRC is a national charity committed to supporting anyone affected by Multiple Sclerosis - their approach is to encourage individuals to make choices that are appropriate to their daily lives, empowering them to maximise their potential.
 
MSRC needs to raise £45,000 per month to maintain vital services such as
  • The only 24 hr, freephone, Telephone Counselling Service for people affected by MS that operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week
  • Publish the acclaimed MS Journal, New Pathways, currently sent to 29 countries and edited by Judy Graham, a leading light in the MS Community

Here's a how a donation can make all the difference:

  • £10 will pay for an unlimited counselling call
  • £15 will pay for a years subscription to New Pathways
  • £25 will provide one mornings worth of Benefits advice and support
  • £50 will pay for 10 CD copies of New Pathways.
  • £100 will pay for one day of a MS Specialist Advisor.
  • £500 will cover one third of the yearly costs involved in the training, telephone and other costs of one of Telephone Counsellors.
Their ethos is that "Life is for Living" and we strongly believe that access to unbiased information and advice can help people come to terms with their condition and still find ways to maximise their potential.
