Story
5 years ago I was diagnosed with MS after 2 years of multiple hospital visits and tests.
Multiple Sclerosis affects the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) which controls all of your body's actions.
There are many different symptoms of MS and they affect each person differently. Some of the most common symptoms include:
- Extreme Tiredness (Fatigue)
- Numbness and tingling
- Blurring of vision
- Problems with mobility and balance
- Muscle weakness and tightness
The symptoms are unpredictable. Some people's MS symptoms develop and increase steadily over time, while for others, they come and go periodically. Each day is different!
Last year after 3 years of following the OMS diet and 2 years of running to try and ensure I stay fit and healthy and now 15 months without a relapse (fingers crossed!!) I asked Craig and a few friends to run the Great North Run with me - so if you would like to sponsor us and help us raise money for the MS Society that would be amazing and it would honestly mean so much... not only to me but also to my family and friends who are joining me as it is a condition and a charity close to all their hearts.
And as cheesy as it sounds... every penny does help, so whatever you would like to donate it will go a long way!
Thank You!
