On the last Sunday in April, I will be taking part in the 2025 London Marathon for the first time.

I will be running the famous 26.2 miles to support the MS Society. As some of you may know, my amazing Mum has lived with MS for many years and therefore I wanted to help raise money for the Society.

MS is an unpredictable and incurable condition that affects people's nervous systems. It can attack suddenly or progress steadily, bringing a range of symptoms which can include sight loss, incontinence, fatigue and mobility problems. No-one with MS can be sure when or how it will affect them next.

The MS Society fund vital research into the causes of MS and possible treatments. They provide a helpline service, answering the calls of those looking for advice and support. They believe that together, we are strong enough to stop MS.
