I promised my generous and kind-hearted friend 'Rie' that I would run a marathon to raise money for MS Society. Sadly she passed away aged 42 years old, leaving friends and family totally heart-broken. Rie was a life-line to me as a friend, and I know that MS Society is a life-line to many impacted by multiple sclerosis.

The weekend before my 50th birthday I am going to run the Chester Marathon in Rie's memory, with my husband Andrew. It's going to be very painful but worth it. Rie was so full of energy, fun, and vitality, that her strength will keep me going (even when my knees have totally given up!!)
