Story
I am running 26.2 miles in the 2024 TCS London Marathon to support the MS Society.
MS is an unpredictable and incurable condition that affects people's nervous systems. It can attack suddenly or progress steadily, bringing a range of symptoms which can include sight loss, incontinence, fatigue and mobility problems. No-one with MS can be sure when or how it will affect them next.
MS Society is a charity that is particularly close my heart, as unfortunately MS has affected a number of my very close loved ones. This includes my amazing Auntie Lou-Lou and my brother's lovely fiancé Phoebe; but all of my loved ones affected embrace life to the fullest despite the challenges they face. I am doing this for them!
The MS Society fund vital research into the causes of MS and possible treatments. They provide a helpline service, answering the calls of those looking for advice and support. They believe that together, we are strong enough to stop MS.
Any donation, large or small, means the world to me, and will be the encouragement I need considering I couldn't run 3 miles 6 months ago...
Thank you so much,
Emily x
