Story

I am doing this challenge with my trusty dog, Merlin, as my brother, Matthew who was diagnosed with a progressive form of MS 2 years ago at the age of 51 can no longer do the marathon running and walking he loves. He can still get out and about at the moment but now has to walk with poles and a leg splint . This charity has given him and his family a lot of invaluable support since his diagnosis to understand the nature of MS,  to cope with the challenges of living with MS and  acceptance of the life changes that come with it. This is ongoing as his condition will worsen. It won’t get better. The charity relies on donations to carry out their excellent work. I know there are a lot of charities carrying out challenges at the moment but, should you feel able to support me, anything you can give no matter how small would be very much appreciated . Thank you
