MS is a terrible condition with no known cure. My father, Stan Brock, suffered with it for many years before his death in December 2012, and one of my sisters, Paula, has recently found out that she has it. The MS Society needs funds to be able to continue its vital research into finding a cure.

I have run a number of half marathons before, but this time I'm really determined to raise as much money as possible in memory of my father.
