My Progress
I'm moving 200 kms this May to leave MS behind
My Progress
209 KMS
My target
200 KMS
Support my challenge to leave MS behind!
I’m taking part in The May 50K. I will be taking on 200k throughout May and have challenged myself to run/walk a minimum of 6.5k every day until the end of the month!
There are over 150,000 people in the UK living with MS, my lovely mum included, 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.
I appreciate any support towards my challenge. Every single penny helps raise funds for life-changing research into multiple sclerosis and better access to treatments!
Thank you so much!
