Manchester Marathon 2021 · 10 October 2021 ·

Over 150,000 of us in the UK have MS. It’s unpredictable and different for everyone. But it doesn’t have to be this way. We’re the MS Society. We understand what life’s like with MS. We're here for you through the highs, lows and everything in between. Together, we are strong enough to stop MS.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

We are raising money for the MS society in the hope that one day there’ll be a cure. 

My mum was diagnosed with MS when we both small. We have seen the progression from relapsing remitting to secondary progressive MS. There have been some breakthroughs with treatment in the early stages but not much for the later, more progressive stages when the effects of the illness are much more devastating and life changing

We’re lucky to have been blessed with the best Mum  in the World. As of yet there is no cure for her MS. Maybe there never will be but running this marathon is our way of trying to do something to help her and others like her.

Please donate if you can. 

To give you an idea of how donating can help… 

        £50 - is enough to operate a high-powered microscope for an hour to study cells and tissue affected by MS at the necessary resolution.  

·         £100 - is enough to process 4 blood samples and extract information about genes and the immune system that is vital when testing out new treatments. 

·         £250 - is enough to run an MRI scanner for an hour and provide the detailed images of the brain crucial for understanding MS progression. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
