My target

50 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!

My reasons🧡

I’m going to give this a go to help get me active again post-baby! It’s also a cause I’m incredibly passionate about — because I live with MS. If you’re able to donate, I would be forever grateful 🧡

MS was never something I had given much thought to before. I didn’t really know what it was, or what it meant. That all changed in August 2024, when a specialist at The Walton Centre told me they had found oligoclonal bands in my spinal fluid and multiple lesions on my brain through MRI scans. They were confident in diagnosing me with Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis.

In that moment, it felt like my world stopped.

What did that even mean?
What would life look like now?
So many questions… and absolutely no answers in that one moment.

I felt torn between two instincts: the part of me that wanted to be strong and not let anything affect my life plans, my motherhood, or my family — and the part of me that just wanted to cry and say, “I give up.”

But I chose to fight. I chose to keep living in spite of it.

Don’t get me wrong — I’ve had to make some big changes to how I live. Many of them I resisted for a long time before finally accepting. But one thing I refuse to do is let MS define my life.

Instead, I’m choosing to own my diagnosis. I’m choosing to talk about it openly, in the hope that others might feel safe to do the same.

That’s also why I’m taking on this challenge — to push myself, to get stronger again after having my baby, and to raise money and awareness for a condition that affects so many people.

If you’re able to support me, whether that’s through a donation or simply sharing this, it really does mean the world 🧡
