My Progress
I'm running 150 kms this May to leave MS behind
My Progress
150 KMS
My target
150 KMS
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!

Re-set
Hi. As most of you know, I’m not the most “IT” person ever!!… but I’ve tried to delete my training runs to re-set to nil for 1st May.
Thank you
A huge thank you. Please know how much I appreciate your support in sponsoring me for this.
First 10km!!!
Longest treadmill walk/run.
Training going ok
Did another 6km walk/jog treadmill today.
Feeling better
After a couple of days with crippling headache and not keeping anything down… returned to gym today. Feeling better.
Gym update
Upped mileage on treadmill! to 3km today. Combination of walk and jog. Only 2 minor wobbles with poor balance… so in all, I call that a win!!
One day in…
