Thank you to everyone who donated to MS Society! 08-10-2021
The weekend has arrived, and our Managing Director Jeff Graham is getting ready to travel to London to run The Royal Parks Half! Jeff is one of 22,500 runners taking to the start line of the iconic and picturesque Half Marathon through four of London's Royal Parks. We're excited to see that the weather looks set to be sunny and warm!
Jeff is an experienced runner who has run many races, but this one is very close to his heart for personal reasons. By taking part in the race, he is fundraising for the MS Society and his daughter Jenny. So far, Jeff has raised an incredible £985, and as we look ahead to the race day, we want to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who donated; it means the world to Jeff, Jenny and their family!
Multiple Sclerosis is relentless, painful and exhausting, and there's currently no cure. The diagnosis was a devastating shock for then 23-year old Jenny and her family. Jenny has had numerous episodes over the years which have temporarily affected her sight and mobility, and she suffers daily from the condition. She has got on with life, dedicated to her career in nursing. Jenny cares for children with life-limiting conditions and has recently also become a clinical educator. She is a mother to Theo and a wife to Adam (which is probably her biggest job!). She has just got on with life, and as she says - what else can you do? You can't lock yourself away in a dark room. You have to get on with whatever life serves you up. And this is true for everyone diagnosed with MS.
That's why the MS Society matters. They are dedicated to their research into MS. As they say, "Together we can stop MS. Today multiple Sclerosis is relentless, painful and exhausting. But tomorrow, we believe we can change that."
We can't wait to support Jeff while he runs the Royal Parks Half, and we invite all of you to help him by donating to MS Society through Jeff's JustGiving page. It would mean the world to him and Jenny and all others whose lives are affected by this condition.
