I will be running the London Marathon 2016 on 24 April for the MS Society.

I am a keen runner and have run a number of 1/2 marathon distances but never embarked on the marathon!  It will be a challenge to  complete this 26 miles.  It will be very hard to fit the training into an already busy life and also in the long, dark winter months in Shetland but this is nothing compared to the challenges people like my sister Louise face on a daily battle.  MS is a horrible illness and I only wish there was a cure.  In raising awareness and money I hope this can be used to fund research and to help those affected to enable their lives to be easier.
