Its all for Charity Mate

So ever since i decided to do this i thought someone other than me should benefit from this.  My gain should be evident in the fact that i should be slimmer and fitter than well probably ever?  if at the same time someone else can benefit (with none of the hard work aches and pains) then even better as the sense of achievement for me will be even greater.

My Mum

Now there are loads of charities and good causes out there and no doubt you will have your own personal favourites so please do not judge me for not picking one of these.  My choice is a little closer to home and is a special one to me because of my mother.  Unfortunately my Mum suffers from MS Multiple Sclerosis .

Multiple Sclerosis this is a condition of the central nervous system.
In MS, the coating around nerve fibres (called myelin) is damaged, causing a range of symptoms but basically it stops messages travelling around the body resulting in the loss of function in certain areas such as movement.
Once diagnosed, MS stays with you for life, but treatments and specialists can help you to manage the symptoms.  Researchers  don't know the cause and they haven't yet found a cure, but research is progressing fast.

MS has striped my mum of her mobility and has taken away alot of the things she enjoys so much, however this has not stopped her being an absolute fantastic mum and granny it just means that we all now get to take turns into wheeling her around and trying not to crash her wheelchair into things (harder than it looks)

So when I do this run in May I am looking for you all to dig deep for a worthy cause no matter how little or big the contribution is I know that both myself and my mum will be entirely grateful for your donations and that you will be helping out a great charity MS Society Scotland http://www.mssociety.org.uk/near-me/national-offices/scotland
