Many of you will know that over the years, David and I hosted our annual Lunch Club in support of MS-UK.  I was extremely sad to have to stop running this event, as it was very special, and a huge part of my life.  I think of it every year on the first Friday in December, and desperately miss the love and camaraderie that always filled the room.

Those of you who knew David know how positive, strong, determined and inspiring he was.  He particularly liked MS-UK as a charity because of the way that they related to people with MS, and their families - by treating them as individuals, and by empowering them with knowledge and shared experiences, to enable them to live their best lives.  MS is an extremely challenging condition, so positivity plays an enormous part in helping to get people through every day.

MS-UK was established in 1993, and is a national charity dedicated to empowering people with multiple sclerosis to make the most of today, and live life to the full.  MS-UK put people affected by MS at the heart of the work that they do. They provide high quality, professional services to support people living with multiple sclerosis, and they listen to people affected by MS.

With recent lockdowns and other effects of COVID-19, so many charities have been under enormous pressure over the last couple of years.  MS-UK is no exception.  I promised I would continue to support them beyond the Lunch Club, and for this reason I have persuaded 5 friends to join me in a skydive adventure this October.  As someone who is petrified of heights, I am now asking for YOUR support, to give me the same positivity, strength and determination that David showed, to fulfil my commitment - by donating whatever you can afford on my JustGiving page.  All contributions, no matter how small, will make a huge difference, so from the bottom of my heart, I thank you in advance if you are able to help.

In friendship and love
