On Friday 27 June, I’ll be taking on the Big Walk in support of neurological disease research at the University of Sheffield.

One in six people, and one in four over the age of 80, will develop a significant neurological disorder in their lifetimes.

As most who know me will be aware, my brother has been severely affected by MS, although despite his body mostly not working for him anymore, he has found ways to live with this and is a truly inspiring and amazing human. Walking 20 miles is a fairly tiny effort in comparison to what he copes with every day. However I hope that by joining in with this event, people might contribute some cash which will go towards funding research into these diseases and help future generations.

Thank you for any contributions small or large xx
