On Sunday 05 October, I am joining #TeamPurple and challenging myself to climb all the stairs inside one of London's most iconic buildings - The Gherkin! I was inspired to complete this challenge by Jonathan Percy (aka Jay), our lovely colleague who first came to work on the Mercer/Marsh account 39 years ago! Jonathan lives with progressive MS and fundraising for MS-UK is really important to him. It’s a fantastic cause and close to many of our hearts on the SPS MMC Account.

Each and every donation I receive for my challenge will go a long way for the small and independently funded charity, MS-UK. No donation is too small and collectively we can make a difference.

A £10 donation can ensure that every call to their helpline is met with a compassionate response, providing vital information and support to those in need.

£25 empowers health professional with a deeper understanding of multiple sclerosis, enabling them to offer more effective care to those affected by this challenging condition.

£50 can cover the cost of one of their accessible group exercise classes. These classes offer not just physical benefits, but also a sense of community and belonging to individuals of all abilities living with MS.

Thank you for your support, it means a lot to me, my colleagues and especially to Jonathan and MS-UK.
