Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I have been surrounded by the affects of MS for most of my life, from my Auntie Adelaide's lifelong battle with the disease, to my best friend, Roisin, recently being diagnosed. From this I've been able to see the first hand affects of the disease and how hard it can be on people's life. However, I have also been incredibly inspired by both Roisin's and Adelaide's fight against the disease and their courage to continue living with such love for life!
I've never really run before - like at all! I will be going from not running at all to running a half marathon in around 12 weeks!
My Auntie Adelaide, who has always been a huge inspiration to me, recently passed away. In her life she achieved so many incredible things despite her continuous battle with MS. She travelled the world and became an amazing nurse, caring for so many people and saving lives. Adelaide is one of my biggest inspirations in life, and taught me that I can do anything I put my mind to - including running a half marathon!
Roisin is an incredible person, who always puts a smile on my face and makes me laugh constantly. I've known Roisin since I was 9 years old and she has been a light in my life ever since. Despite being diagnosed with MS at 17, 2 years ago, she has so much love for life and inspires me daily to do what I love and smile.
I'm running this half marathon in honour of both Adelaide and Roisin, and to help everyone around the world who is suffering with MS.
