Story

In 2026 Christian will be turning 60, Sam will be turning 30, and we are very excited to face the challenge of running the London Marathon to mark this big year!

We are running for the MS Trust after Sam’s unexpected diagnosis with Relapsing Remitting MS in November 2024. My story: I was on a work trip when I started feeling numbness in one half of my face and was constantly extremely thirsty - these symptoms persisted for around 1.5 months and I knew there was something unusual going on. Many hospital appointments and various tests later, I found out this was actually an MS relapse and was officially diagnosed. My response has very much been to try to ignore and get on with life as normal, and thankfully with treatment my symptoms have been manageable. But following the scary period of diagnosis, the uncertainty and unpredictability of further relapses and MS in general can be tricky to deal with.

MS Trust resources have been extremely valuable in making sense of my diagnosis, understanding treatment options and knowing there’s someone to speak to. We would very much appreciate your support to raise money for a great cause.
