As most of you will know I was diagnosed with MS in 2002 and have been raising money for the MS Society on and off ever since. I have recently taken up running as part of trying to keep fit. This was after a 10 year gap when I convinced myself that I couldn’t run anymore because of the MS. So after four runs, furthest being 4.2km, I thought the logical next step was the London Marathon 😳.

In a moment of madness I applied for a charity place and hoped I would hear nothing more about it. Less than 24 hours later the MS Society called and I am in.

Now the fundraising begins. I have committed to raising a minimum of £2000 to secure my place and would really appreciate any help people would like to give. Will also stop me backing out!
