For Our Challenge

What a month!

Well that's May over! What a month, the sponsors, shares, support and help in every way to each of us has been exceptional! In one month, together we walked 422.41km - a lot further than we first thought we would! Our goal for sponsors was £250 which we thought would be good if we could reach. We never imagined we would reach it by lunch time on day 1 or that by the end of the month we would have over 6 grand. Every penny that has been donated will help the MS Society and MS International Federation to work on more research and treatments. We've said it before and we'll say it again, thank you!

Day 28

A whole week and more has passed and I've been meaning to do updates and haven't...


On Saturday Graeme met his target of 50k! Woohoo!
To mark the occasion he made a bit of a competition - we went to the Ring of Brodgar to hit his target, after which he did his celebratory dance ;) but how many times did we have to go round to get the final k for him? If you have a look at his Facebook page you can have a guess and could win 2 lobsters, to be caught by his brother and delivered on a date of your choosing.

Today Jennifer met her 150k target! Woohoo!
To celebrate she had a run in the sea at Minn - sun shining on her for a quick dip. Video also on Facebook.

Another point worthy of a woohoo today - we had reset our fundraising target to £4000 as your super donations had met our other previous targets.
Today thanks to more very generous donations we have absolutely smashed that target!
A HUGE Thank You to all our sponsors and everyone who has shared our links to spread the word further. 

It really has been incredible the support we've been shown and continue to be shown to raise awareness of what MS is like and help fund further research into treatments.

We won't bother resetting any targets be it distance or sponsorships and will just see what we end up on.

Day 20

I've not been keeping a close eye and I know the app me & Graeme use doesn't upload our kms to the fundraising page til 24 hours later but just had a look!

Our original fundraising target was £750 - our total now sits at over £3489!

Our original target distance was 250km - the page says we're currently  at 263.58k and I know I have 9k odd from today and Graeme is going for another walk soon so that will bump it up too.

None of the three of us thought we'd get this much on either sponsors or distance so thanks again for all your help and support to get us through it - come on team Jennifer & the MainlandS, we are doing bloody good!

Day 17

We reached our second goal!

Original was £750 which we sailed past on day one

Changed it to £3000 which we reached on day 17, thanks to all your donations and sharing our links - thank you for all your help and support!

We are over the 200km mark as a team so less than 50k to reach our target distance

So far our kms are:
Jennifer - 93.16
Graeme - 37.41
Elizabeth - 96.17

£2000!

I meant to post more regular updates on here but each of us have done more on our own Facebook pages, I'll try to do better!

Just a quick update though to say another thank you to you all for your support so far. With 14 minutes to spare, our fundraiser tipped over the £2000 mark on day 5! Our original goal was £750 so we've doubled that and more with everyone's generosity - thank you! 

26 days left of our walking, we were collectively aiming for 250kms, we've reached over 70km on day 5 so going good on that front too :) 

Day 1

What a start to the month!

Our team goal for the month was £750, by midday we had passed that and coming up for 10pm we're over £1300!
Graeme is sitting with over £750 on his page alone, we were hoping the fundraising would be a success with modest donations here and there but people's generosity has shocked us all.

All your sponsors & shares of our links are very much appreciated and a great motivator to us all to clock up as many k as we can.

Thank you

Support our challenge to leave MS behind!

We're taking part in The May 50K. We will be aiming to walk at least 50km each throughout May to raise funds for life-changing research into multiple sclerosis and better access to treatments! 

There are over 130,000 people in the UK living with MS and we need your help to leave MS where it belongs, behind us.

You can now support this work in the UK and around the World because The May 50K supports the MS Society UK and the MS International Federation. We’ve accepted the challenge to change lives.

Please make a donation towards our fundraiser today and support our team challenge. Thank you for your support!


Jennifer has pledged to do 150k! 

Elizabeth has pledged a minimum of 50k!

Graeme has pledged 50k! 

A team total of 250k! We can do this!

Thank you to our Sponsors
