Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In April 2020 I was due to run my first marathon to support MS Trust and the great work they do in the UK but it was postponed.

In June 2020 I put all the training to good use and when lockdown eased slightly I ran it virtually in a time of 3hrs 49 minutes.
Thank you for all the donations made in support of that goal. MS contacted me to thank me for all the money they received.

In April 2021 I sadly lost my Mum, Sian Philippa Roberts. Mum spent the last 32yrs battling with MS. The way she approached life and never let the MS stop her doing anything she wanted to I find so brave and really inspirational.

In May 2021 I picked up the training again so I could finally run the official marathon which is now rearranged for 10th October 2021!

I wasn't sure whether to raise money again but thought it was important to do my bit to contribute to this charity and the work they do supporting the many people living with MS in the UK and to also keep me motivated through around another 1000KM of training miles!
