It's impossible to explain the devastating effect that Multiple Sclerosis has had on my family. My dad has been living with this debilitating condition for many years - and MS does its best to make 'living' as hard as it possibly can. 

To raise awareness - and hopefully lots of money - I thought I should try and do something fairly drastic! Training for the London Marathon as a non-running, soon-to-be-40, mother of two is presenting a pretty big challenge!

Training on freezing dark nights, through torrential downpours, and with a growing list of aches and pains - it's perhaps the most ridiculous idea I have ever had. 

It is SO hard - but nowhere near as hard as having MS, so please dig deep to support me and my fabulous running mate Leanne as we do our best to help the MS Society help families like mine - and maybe even one day find a cure.
