Fundraising for Multiple Sclerosis Society
Story
LONDON MARATHON 2023
** Fundraising from this page will be allocated to MS Society Inverness & Nairn Group **
In October I applied for an MS Society charity place for the 2023 London Marathon. Never expecting to get accepted due to the number of applicants and interest in running the London Marathon for this incredible charity.
Amazingly I have just found out I got accepted and there was no way I could turn it down. Having ran a marathon before in 2019 I know how hard the training and the event will be but I am unbelievably delighted and proud to be running the 2023 London Marathon for the MS Society, and more specifically locally for the Inverness and Nairn Group.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a condition that affects your brain and spinal cord. In MS, the coating that protects your nerves (myelin) is damaged. This causes a range of symptoms like blurred vision and problems with how we move think and feel.
My mum has suffered from MS for 20+ years, having gone through many hard times because of the disease. But no matter how hard the times get she always fights through and is an inspiration to everyone that knows her. This run is for her!
More than 130,000 people in the UK have MS. In the UK people are most likely to find out they have MS in their thirties, forties and fifties. But the first signs of MS often start years earlier. Many people notice their first symptoms years before they get their diagnosis.
MS Society funds world-leading research, shares the latest information and campaign for everyone's rights. Their main goal is to provide a community for sufferers and believe that together we can stop MS. This is why I am running for this amazing charity.
As this is a charity place I am tasked with fundraising a minimum of £2,000, but with your help I hope to raise more!
Keep an eye out for updates as the training progresses and details of events that I plan on holding to raise money for this incredible cause.
