Together, with my good friend, and running partner, I am taking on the challenge of running the 2016 Virgin London Marathon. Having completed many 1/2s in recent years, London is the 'icing on the cake' of Marathons. We hope we do you proud!
More than 100,000 people in the UK are diagnosed with MS, yet there still remains no cure. Good friends of mine suffer the side effects of this debilitating disease, affecting their everyday lives - those which we take for granted. Suffering from muscle weakness, imbalance, nerve damage and dizziness are just some of the side effects, which individuals have no control over. Having led an active lifestyle through my own life, I appreciate how lucky I am, and therefore run this in their honour.
By raising awareness, and fundraising on their behalf, we hope to improve the treatment and care to help people with MS to take control of their lives, and have an improved quality of life.
If you see us out grimacing throughout the long Shetland winter conditions, please toot and wave, and we'll try to smile back! We're looking forward to embracing the challenge, and helping to #BeatMS!
