MS-UK was established in 1993, and is a national charity dedicated to empowering people with multiple sclerosis to make the most of today, and live life to the full.MS-UK put people affected by MS at the heart of the work that they do. They provide high quality, professional services to support people living with multiple sclerosis, and they listen to people affected by MS.

I am getting involved personally with 'MY MS Challenge' to help challenge myself for one and  by raising awareness, and much needed funds to continue the  fantastic and services that MS-UK offer! MS-UK help support & provide services to people affected with Multiple Sclerosis on a day to day level and throughout a person's journey with MS. 

So I have set my Challenge around the parameters of the Number 26! set by MY MS Challenge and about being inclusive for all. I will be attempting to Bike 26 miles , row 26km and swim 2600 metres per week throughout the month of July.  No mean feat as people who know me would say I do not have the time and I haven't done any training for a while! (long while :)  But it is about taking time out making the effort and raising funds for the amazing services MS-UK Provide.  

The HealthWorkz Business has a strong connection with MS-UK over the past 10 years helping develop their exercise coaching program with online classes and inhouse exercise coaching services. HealthWorkz is now an independent privately run studio that continues to provide and support the local and national community who are affected with long term neurological conditions from  MS, Stroke, Cerebral Palsy, Parkinson's, Brain & Spinal Injury.  

The HealthWorkz Studio is getting involved with ‘ My MS marathon challenge’ by opening up its studio for free to anyone  who wishes to participate with this challenge! The HealthWorkz team are  helping set realistic outcomes and give ideas around their personal challenges.

Some personal challenges include 

-Cycling 26 miles in the month of July

-Walking 26 meters per week in the parallel bars,

Walking for 26 minutes on the treadmill (with breaks)

Cycle 26km per week during the month of July   

Studio challenge - The Healthworkz Team are aiming to smash through 260 miles a week Collectively as a studio.

Some of the  equipment that will be used  are Thera-bike Upper & Lower Body cycling which are very popular  or FES RT300 electrical stimulation cycling, Parallel bars, and the Treadmill. 

A great motivational challenge for our client's, making them feel part of a wider community, providing positive motivation and adding much needed support for the fantastic work that MS-UK does as a National charity.
