London Marathon 2021 for MS Society UK

London Marathon 2021 · 3 October 2021 ·
Hello and welcome to my page, please allow me to share with you what I'm doing,
I will be running the London Marathon 2021 and I'll be running it for MS Society UK.
MS is a disease that has affected my family for many years now and I would love to see a cure found for it.
My Dad was diagnosed with it in 2003 and since then, I've witnessed first hand just how much his condition has worsened. It has been heartbreaking seeing him fall, seeing him in pain and knowing that there's no cure.
I recall the memories of when I was a child, playing football in the garden with him and it saddens me to know that he won't be able to do any of that with his grandchildren. All because of MS.
If that's not enough, my sister was also diagnosed with MS in 2019.
They are both extremely strong people who do their very best to carry on as normal as much as possible and I'm extremely proud of them both.
Having taken up a fitness regime during the second lockdown as a means of maintaining some kind of sanity, I started running, at first I built up to doing 5k then 10k and I surprised myself by running a half marathon. It was then that I thought about the London Marathon, initially I thought it was crazy and I'd never get a place but I fired off an email anyway and eventually I got the reply... I'd got a place!
So here we are, I will be running the London Marathon for MS Society...
I'll be running for my Dad...
I'll be running for my Sister...
I'll be running for everyone affected by MS.
Please, please, please help me with this and donate.
Thank you so much
