Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
This is a very personal cause for me, as somebody who has been diagnosed with MS I am all too aware of the challenges this can present to physical health, with my noticeable symptoms being “numbness” in my legs, loss of balance and extreme fatigue that can leave me exhausted; and that’s why I want to challenge myself to run the London Landmarks Half Marathon and support the great work of the MS Trust
Over 130,000 people live with MS in the UK, with 130 diagnosed each week. It's a condition that affects the brain and spinal cord and impacts how people move, think and feel.
The majority of people are diagnosed with relapse/remitting MS, which can seem to come and go, however many people progress over time to a progressive version which can result in a dependency on a walking aid or wheelchair.
Half of the country currently has a shortage of MS nurses and the MS Trust work with the NHS to fund new MS nurses in the areas that need them most and ensure people with MS have the care and support they need.
