I have always admired the strength and determination my sister has in all aspects of her life. While she has achieved so much and has been given so many opportunities as a result of her disability, she still faces many challenges every single day that you or I may feel are very insignificant. One thing that has always stuck out for me is just how many friends she has lost over the years due to life threatening conditions such as MD. Nobody deserves to go through the pain that she, her friends and their families have gone through. 

I feel very fortunate that I have Jess in my life and would not change her for the world, but my heart seriously melts for all the families that have lost loved ones due to this progressive muscle-wasting condition.

That being said, I have decided to run the Royal Parks Half for my sister, all of her friends that she has lost, their families and anybody else who is living with MD. I admire the courage you have every single day and therefore I hope I can make you proud and raise awareness for such an incredible charity. 

I would be so grateful if you could help by donating or sharing my page so that we can raise awareness and help other families that are affected daily by this cruel condition.
