Hello,

We are running the London Landmarks Half Marathon on the 2nd April 2023 for the MS Society! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

We want to run to support and raise awareness of the MS Society. As Physiotherapists, we often see the challenges that Multiple Sclerosis can bring and in 2018, whilst we were at University, Sophie’s Mum (Sue) was diagnosed with the condition.

MS can show itself in many forms, including impacting your mobility and balance. Currently there is no available cure for this disease, but as a result of ongoing developments, there are now a wide array of disease-modifying therapies available to those with all types of MS.

Over the past 4 years, Sue has found a new way of doing everything that she loves, and we have been so proud of how she has overcome numerous barriers to live an independent life- often turning a difficult situation into a joke that can be laughed about! From continuing to bake the most decadent cakes, to racing around her favourite country homes in a new set of wheels, she truly is an inspiration. Of course, there are days that symptoms can become overwhelming, and the mental impact MS can have is understandably enormous. Despite this, Sue has shown everyone around her how determined she is and we are so unbelievably proud of her every day!.

The MS Society do amazing work to help people and families affected by MS. They invest in ground-breaking research, as well as providing advice and information/support through their MS Helpline. The charity also hold exercise and wellbeing groups across the UK, which people like Sue have found invaluable to improving physical and psychological experiences living with the condition.

This is why we have decided to run the Half Marathon and we would love to dedicate it mainly to Sue, but also every individual that is facing MS on a daily basis.

Please donate what you can to support our run for the MS Society, so that they can continue providing these lifechanging services, and together we can help end MS for good 🧡

Thank you for taking the time to read our page and supporting the cause :)
