Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running the London Marathon.

My mum has MS. It's a nasty disease to have to live with. My mum is wheelchair bound. Her legs gradually got weaker and weaker as the years have gone on. She has constant pins and needles, and there are many other nasty symptoms that she and other MS sufferers have to live with every day! 

There are different types of MS, my mums is progressive. She is always feeling the effects and her symptoms never fade away. It steadily gets worse over time. There is no cure and not really any relief. She feels constant discomfort every single day.

I have never heard her complain about her condition, though I know she was in denial and struggled to come to terms with the diagnosis, when she was diagnosed many years ago.

I am raising the money for East Kent MS Group, which is my mums local group.

Training for a marathon takes a lot of dedication and commitment. Not to mention understanding and support from my husband and children. The training programme is pretty much taking over my life.
