Story

We are doing "Miles for MS in May" with gratitude for both the MS Trust's excellent research into improved treatment and outcomes and the support they provide to those diagnosed with and affected by MS. 

In our ignorance, prior to my (Liz's) diagnosis during the first lockdown in 2020, we had very little understanding about how important all of this research and support was to people with MS. We now know only too well how much "MSers" hope and pray for a cure and improved treatments to help us lead the life we always thought we'd be able to lead, prior to diagnosis. We also know how reassuring their helpline and other support services really are. Who knew we'd need them but we have been bloody grateful that they're there.

So here we are trying to do a little bit to support keeping this research and these support structures in place by walking 100 miles (each!) during May. If you can help by supporting and/or sponsoring us (if you're able to), it would mean a lot!
