Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I'm running the 2009 London Marathon for the Sarah Matheson Trust for Multiple System Atrophy  and Parkinsons.  Dad suffers from MSA and is now confined to a wheelchair.  His spirit and cheerfulness, despite his adversity, are my inspiration.  I ran for Parkinsons in 2006 and raised £4000.  If I was able to raise about half that much this time I would be happy.  I know from experience how painful the training and the run itself will be, but dad suffers every day and I haven't heard him complain once yet.  The SMT is relatively unknown, but as MSA is a severe and quite rare kind of Parkinsons, I thought that this year I would try to raise funds for them as well as giving some to Parkinsons itself.  So if you are able to help, thanks.
