This July, I am taking part in My MS Marathon to raise money for MS-UK's helpline service.

Across the country, people are joining the #TeamPurple family to take on their own kind of marathon using the number 26 and I am doing it my way for MS-UK. I’m hoping to achieve 26 runs minimum from my cricket matches in July.

In 2013 my mum was diagnosed MS and I would like to raise money for a charity that helps her and others.

The MS-UK helpline offers emotional support and information to those living with MS (multiple sclerosis) at any point in their journey. Staffed by trained information officers who can provide all the information needed to help those with MS make choices that are right for them.

Thank you for your support, together we can ensure that no one has to face MS alone.
