Hello friends, family, colleagues and strangers. Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a lifelong, autoimmune condition that affects the brain and spinal cord. The immune system mistakenly attacks and damages the coating that protects the nerves (myelin) which can cause a multitude of symptoms, including but not limited to: fatigue, depression, numbness, cognitive and mobility problems. Each person living with MS is affected differently.

Currently, the exact cause of MS is unknown and there is no cure, however research is underway to stop MS for good.

For those of you who do not know - I was diagnosed with MS in February 2021. 

Something I've taken away from my diagnosis is don't take your health for granted, which is why I am doing this 10 in 10 challenge (https://www.10in10.org.uk/events/annual-10in10-challenge/) - hiking 10 peaks in 10 hours (26km) in the Lake District, in order to help raise money for the MS Society so they can continue their research.

I would be grateful for any donation you can make.
My employer will make a top-up donation to match the money you have raised, up to the equivalent of $5,000.

Your support is really appreciated! Thank you
