I am running 26.2 miles in the 2021 Virgin Money London Marathon to support the MS Society.
In 2009, when she was just 44, my mum suffered with 'stroke like' symptoms and was admitted to the Walton Centre. In 2018, she was diagnosed with MS and has suffered with the symptoms ever since. I really want to raise as much money as possible to help with the research needed to treat all of those suffering with this awful condition, in particular, my lovely mum :)
MS is an unpredictable and incurable condition that affects people's nervous systems. It can attack suddenly or progress steadily, bringing a range of symptoms which can include sight loss, incontinence, fatigue and mobility problems. No-one with MS can be sure when or how it will affect them next.The MS Society fund vital research into the causes of MS and possible treatments. They provide a helpline service, answering the calls of those looking for advice and support. They believe that together, we are strong enough to stop MS.
