The Middlesbrough MS Therapy Centre is an independent local charity that provides a unique service of low cost therapies for MS sufferers, their carers and their families. Although MS is at yet incurable, much can be done to improve the quality of life of MS sufferers. The MS Therapy Centre opened in 1985 by local people affected by MS. Its aim is to provide MS sufferers in Tees Valley and surrounding areas with therapy, support and information. The centre provides a range of vital therapies aimed at limiting the problems of MS. We are not part of a larger organisation and are totally self funding. We receive no government funding and raise our income through member’s donations towards the cost of treatment along with the fundraising efforts of our members, volunteers and local businesses.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I’ve decided to take part in this years Great North Run to raise money for a local MS charity ‘Middlesbrough MS Therapy Centre’. The centre offers physical & emotional support as well as advice to people and families of those who are living with MS.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, progressive illness that affects the nerves in the brain, spinal cord and other parts of the central nervous system. MS is an autoimmune condition, which means the body’s immune system targets itself, attacking cells, tissues and organs. It is estimated over 100,000 people are living with MS in the UK.

For those that know me know my Mam suffers from MS, so when I signed up to do this I knew I had to raise money for a charity that’s close to home. So wether it’s a donation or a share of the page on social media, everything is greatly appreciated and doesn’t go a miss!

All preparation will be uploaded to my Strava page https://strava.app.link/flTt3rEFLLb so feel free to keep tabs and make sure I’m doing my runs 🤣

Thanks for taking the time to read, roll on race day 🤝🏼-Jord
