MS affects over 130,000 people in the UK and currently has no cure. We're excited to support a charity who are funding world leading reasearch into this condition. We'd really appreciate your support!

We've not taken on a challenge like this before, as you can see from the pictures we love walking in the lakes and have relatively recently started fell running. This will definitely be a challenge, but we're excited to push ourselves to the limit for such a good cause.

Here is an idea of what your donations could pay for:

£5 - Could pay for laboratory essentials such as petri dishes, latex gloves and microscope slides. It seems small, but these things are essential to the scientists' work.

£50 - Could pay for 10 calls to the MS Society helpline, so they can be there for people when they need them the most.

£500 - Could provide a short break grant for someone with MS to enjoy quality time away and a chance to relax without worries.

£1000 - Could run an MRI scanner for four hours, providing images of the brain that help to understand MS.

£2000 - Could pay for 40 days of the MS Society online forum; a place for people with MS, their friends and their family, to connect.
