Here's my story... Almost 10 years ago my father died. He was an amazing dad and a brilliant all round guy. Before he became ill he ran the London Marathon multiple times and I had promised him that one day we would run it together... not that I'd be able to keep up. So I am doing this, for the second time, for him. Thanks A LOT Dad! You can't say I don't keep my promises, he will be with me the whole way. He got me over the finish line the first time despite injuries and not much training so I'm expecting the same helping hand this time. 

I'm sure anyone who knows me will understand how tough the training is going to be, not just physically but emotionally too. For a start I may have to cut down my weekly alcohol intake (just the week before right?) and possibly eat less chocolate (i heard it's a good source of energy). Seriously though, its difficult when out on a 2 hour run not to be thinking back to the main reason for doing this and how much I miss my dad. 

So here I go again, pounding the pavements of South London or welcome breaks from the city up in the Lake District visiting my mum. 

What is MS?  Well my Dad had it and unfortunately it was one of the worst cases ever reported. He died within 4 years of being diagnosed which is very rare. I'd never really heard of it before so here are some facts for those of you who don't know.
