The MScapade: A Year of Challenges · 10 December 2020

Over 150,000 of us in the UK have MS. It’s unpredictable and different for everyone. But it doesn’t have to be this way. We’re the MS Society. We understand what life’s like with MS. We're here for you through the highs, lows and everything in between. Together, we are strong enough to stop MS.

Story

Thanks for coming to this page! I'm Robin, a comedian with MS. Im on a mission to kick my condition firmly in the d*ck and raise some money for the MS Society with my buddy Matt to stop this stupid disease in its idiot tracks. So we've set ourselves a year of physical challenges, they include runs, hikes, climbs, swims, cycles and other nonsense.

As 2021 dawns I am entering the second year of my journey as a man with Multiple Sclerosis. MS is a degenerative neurological condition which causes sensory and mobility issues, loss of cognitive function, fatigue, chronic pain and a whole host of fun other symptoms.

As I progress with my journey with the condition, I want to continue to prove to myself, and everyone else that MS doesn't have to be the end of your life, it can just be the start of a new chapter. And what better way to do this, than undertake a horror show of challenges for a whole year with one of my best buds Matt and a whole host of special guests. 

The MS Society is an amazing charity, that has supported me directly and indirectly all year, and I want to give back in anyway I can. The Society believes that by 2025 they will be able to stop MS so that nobody living with the condition will have to worry about it getting worse. So by doing these challenges now, I hope to be helping fund research which will help me and others do things just like this further down the line.

Matt and I will be posting updates, videos, pictures and all sorts for every challenge as they happen/in the build up. We're making some really snazzy films, and of course by 'we,' I mean Matt. He provides the talent, I provide the degenerative neurological condition. It's a match made in heaven. 

I'm asking for sponsorship for Matt and I to do these challenges throughout the year. They will be increasingly physically demanding, and increasingly tough so any donation at all will really help us get through it. Let's make some money and stop MS. The target is based on 100 people giving £3 a month for the duration of the MScapade. If you can't afford that, then any donation at all would be really gratefully received.

So far completed challenges include a 50 mile bike ride, the army combat fitness test, an ultra marathon hike, a triathlon, a wild swim across Derwent Water, 21 miles of paddling up Windermere and round Derwent Water and Biked the full perimeter of the Isle of Wight. Still to come are a half marathon and a really nasty climbing challenge amongst others.
