My story
UPDATE (03/10/11)
On Sunday the 2nd October, I completed the Loch Ness Marathon in a time of 4 hours, 58 minutes and 48 seconds.
Seven years ago when I was diagnosed with MS I never thought this would be possible. I am absolutely delighted at all the support I have received and the amount of money I have raised for this fantastic charity.
_____________________________________________________________________
Seven years ago, at the age of fifteen, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis following episodes of numbness and double vision. I was diagnosed during my Standard Grade exam year and as a result elected to take disease modifying injections throughout the remainder of my schooling. Sadly, I suffered badly with 'flu-like' side effects along with the fatigue I was experiencing and this affected my schooling. As a result I stopped taking the injections in 2007. I have now moved on to a drug called Tysabri which I receive once a month, by infusion, at the hospital.
This year I am participating in two events to raise money for MS Society Scotland. They are:
1) Inverness half-marathon (13th March) COMPLETED
2) Loch Ness marathon (2nd October) COMPLETED
My inspiration for running these events for MS Society Scotland is to help as many people as possible get the support they deserve. Also, a big inspiration to me is my auntie who has had Multiple Sclerosis for over ten years. As well as having the aim of raising as much money as possible for MS Society Scotland I am also keen to raise awareness of Multiple Sclerosis and the work being done by this great charity.
When I 'signed-up' for the Loch Ness Marathon I also signed up for the Inverness Half Marathon which I ran in March in terrible weather conditions. I began training in January which I found extremely difficult due to the wintery weather and also developing a persistant knee injury which would affect me every time I ran. However, I managed to run and complete the half-marathon despite the snow, freezing rain, strong winds and, of course, the knee pain! I have never been a long distance runner in the past.
The MS Society depends entirely on charitable fundraising and the support of the public and volunteers to be able to do their work. Your donation can help in so many ways, for example:
- A donation of £10 would help provide vital information leaflets about MS.
- A donation of £15 would pay for an hour of MS research time.
- A donation of £20 would help fund the cost of someone receiving 24-hour nursing care at the respite care centre.
- A donation of £30 would help towards the running costs of the MS freephone helpline.
- A donation of £50 would contribute to the individual support grant programme that provides mobility aids, adaptations and equipment.
You can also now donate to my fundraising page using JustTextGiving. Just text MSSR89 to 70070 followed by the amount you wish to donate. e.g to sponsor me £5, text MSSR89 £5 to 70070.
I was also been nominated as an inspiration person by my brother to be a 'Torchbearer' during the London 2012 Olympic Games. http://www.london2012.com/olympic-torch-relay .
Thank you very much for your support to this fantastic cause. Your donation truly means so much to both myself personally, and of course, to MS Society Scotland. Every single penny donated is very much appreciated so please dig deep and support my efforts in supporting this great charity.
