Rachel is my super lovely and equally as crazy friend. She is very outdoorsy and would love to be active if she wasn't hindered by MS, an awful condition which has severely restricted her mobility.

I am running the Stroud half marathon next month and as I am so much in awe of Rachel and the way she patiently copes with a condition that would drive me to distraction, I asked her if I could run to raise money to help her to be able to do more crazy things.

More than anything she would like a folding electric trike to be able to go out with her children on their bikes, but they are astronomically expensive so we have set the fundraising at just a third of the cost. Hopefully we can smash the target and I won't have to run too many more half marathon!

Thank you for reading and in advance for your giving.
