Support my challenge to leave MS behind!
I’m taking part in The May 50K. I will be taking on 50km throughout May and leaving my limits behind to raise funds for life-changing research into multiple sclerosis and better access to treatments!
There are over 150,000 people in the UK living with MS and I 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. I’ve accepted the challenge to change lives.
Please make a donation to support my challenge.
Thank you so much!

Day 3
100k in May 🏃♀️🏃♀️
Today’s the Day - 1st of May
Thanks again to EVERYONE who has donated - it’s very kind and generous but it’s to help a worthy cause. MS can be cruel and it’s certainly that to David (step-father). He’s still in hospital, stripped of his mobility. He was always a very active person, but this cruel disease has taken all this away.
100k update
Well I’ve been getting the miles in, in preparation for the May challenge. I can’t thank all the people enough who have donated so far - it is very kind and generous - each and every one of you. Every little helps in seeking a cure for these horrible diseases. ‘Dave the Rave’, my step-father asked me what day I was doing the challenge, to which I had to tell him I’m not superhuman, I’ll be doing it over the whole month of May, not just on one day! 🤣
Why I am doing this challenge.
My step-father, David, was diagnosed with MS later on in life and is struggling now with his mobility and general day to day life. I’ve signed up to this challenge to be able to help the MS Society in their research to combat this horrible disease. Any donation is appreciated.Thank you to my Sponsors
