We are the MS Society. We are strong enough to stop MS together.

Story

At the beginning of 2022 my left leg stopped working. Very quickly this was diagnosed as relapsing and remitting MS. I have since made a fairly good recovery and am back running, albeit a bit slower than before (I was never quick). I am very optimistic about the future. In a large part this is because of advances in MS treatment over recent years. These advances are only made possible by research. I have started on a Disease Modifying Therapy - a type of treatment that can slow down the damage caused by MS and reduce the risk of relapses. However, this is not a cure and these treatments don't work for all types of MS. This is why I'm raising money for the MS Society  To help fund research to achieve a world free from the effects of MS - one of the leading causes of disability in young adults. 

In March I have a group of friends and family joining me in running the Cambridge half marathon, to raise money for the MS Society. We are not all natural runners and I am very grateful for their support. I understand that life is very expensive at the moment. Any money you are able to donate would be very appreciated.
