Story

On Sunday 4th October me and my brother David will be taking part in the 2021 London Marathon. This will be the first time either of us have attempted the marathon and we are delighted to have the opportunity to raise funds for MPS Society.

MPS Society are a small charity that support families who suffer from rare genetic conditions. These conditions lead to significant disabilities, key organ failure and fatality, often in early life. As these diseases are rare they often don't get the attention or funding that is required leading to tragic consequences. MPS works tirelessly to provide invaluable support to sufferers and their families, champions pioneering new treatments and helps ensure the voices of these vulnerable people are heard.   

The charity is very close to our hearts as many close family members have been affected. We would appreciate any contributions that you can make to this fabulous charity.
