Support my challenge to leave MS behind!

I’m taking part in The May 50K this year and will be running 50km across the month to raise money for the MS Society UK.

2026 marks 15 years since I was diagnosed with MS, so it felt like a good opportunity to raise awareness and some much-needed funds.

MS affects over 150,000 people in the UK and, while treatments have come a long way, there’s still so much more to do – better treatments, more understanding, and ultimately a world without MS.

Tom is also taking on the challenge with me (which will either keep me motivated… or make it harder as he’ll only run to the pub 😂). Between us, we’re aiming to run over 50km each and raise as much money as possible. Considering I probably run about 5km a month at the moment, this will definitely be a push!

If you’re able to donate, I’d really appreciate it – every bit genuinely makes a difference in funding research and support.

A bit of encouragement along the way goes a long way too – and I wouldn’t say no to a few guest appearances on runs!

Thank you so much 💛
