Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page, I really do appreciate it! This is why I am raising money for the MS Society...

My dad unfortunately suffered from MS for over 10 years. At the beginning it wasn't so bad but it soon started affecting his day to day activities. This is because MS attacks the coating of your nerves and the damage disrupts messages travelling along nerve fibres all around your body - these messages slow down, become distorted and may not even get through. His MS got so bad that he could no longer take care of himself. My mum had to become a full time carer to look after him but he still ended up in a care home. The steady decline in his health hugely affected my mum, who passed away a few months before he did. MS can be such an unforgiving disease and around 100,000 people in the UK have it.

I've witnessed first hand how MS affects a person and those around them. It would be an honour to raise over £2,000 for the MS Society and I feel so lucky to have been selected to run for them in the London Marathon. I also can't thank you guys enough for your support and kind words! I will not let you down!
