I am running 26.2 miles in the 2022 Virgin Money London Marathon to support the MS Society. MS is an unpredictable and incurable condition that affects people's nervous systems. It can attack suddenly or progress steadily, bringing a range of symptoms which can include sight loss, incontinence, fatigue and mobility problems. No one with MS can be sure when or how it will affect them next. The MS Society funds vital research into the causes of MS and possible treatments. They provide a helpline service, answering the calls of those looking for advice and support. They believe that together, we are strong enough to stop MS.
My Grandma Johnson battled MS for the later part of her life, and I saw firsthand how it slowly took away her quality of life. I'm raising funds on her behalf, as well as for my friends who are currently living with MS, have family members living with MS, or have lost loved ones to this disease.
