Thank you for visiting our Just Giving Page.
To celebrate our Mum's 60th, we're walking 60km for Multiple Sclerosis Society. Part of this will involve taking on the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge on 29th September 2018.
Multiple sclerosis is a neurological condition that affects the brain and spinal cord. In MS, the insulating covers of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord are damaged. This damage disrupts the ability of parts of the nervous system to communicate, resulting in a range of signs and symptoms.
Although we spent our childhoods being forced to trek up mountains by our parents in the Lakes, it's only now we look back and appreciate it. Mum can no longer do this with us as she suffers from primary progressive MS; meaning she struggles with walking and balance. Unfortunately, these symptoms have become worse over time.
We want to raise as much money as possible for the MS Society so they can help families like ours and hopefully find a cure for this in the future.
Thank you in advance for all of your support
Helen, Lauren, Sam, Rachel, Paul, Sam & Dan xx
