Over 15,000 people on the UK have MS, it’s unpredictable and different for everyone. It is one of the most common neurological conditions in the UK but still there isn't a cure.

MS is something close to our family, with both my cousin Nick and myself having MS. Sadly Nick isn't with us now, however I learned so much from him on how to manage the condition or in some cases what not to do! I've had MS now for over 20 years and benefited from the developments in treatment.

So, a few of us from the Solihull Mountaineering Club are taking part in the 10in10 or the Challenge 5 in the Lake District. I’m taking part in the Challenge 5 which is 8 miles over 5 peaks, all happening on the 20th of June to raise funds for MS Society. For me this will be a big challenge, as in recent years walking has become more difficult.

Please support us, as we take part in the 10in10 and/or the Challenge 5 in June, raising money for life-changing MS research.
