Support my challenge to leave MS behind!
This year as part of The May 50K, I am running/walking 200km and leaving my limits behind to raise funds for life-changing research into multiple sclerosis and better access to treatments!
There are over 2.8 million people living with MS and I need your help to leave MS where it belongs, behind us.
Research and global action are the keys to changing the future of MS, so I’ve accepted #TheMay50K challenge to change lives.
Please consider making a donation to support my challenge.
Thank you so much!
My Updates
200km in MAY!
When I ran my first marathon 10 years ago, I chose to fundraise for MS – as one of my oldest and dearest friends (we met in 1980 at music camp) had been diagnosed several years prior. Three years ago, another friend was diagnosed with MS and was doing #themay50k challenge (in Australia), so I joined up to do it with her. The past few years have not been great for me health-wise (stupid lungs and uncontrolled asthma at 50!) but I am determined to run or walk in support. Every year I have done #TheMay50k – I have tried to set a goal of more mileage. The last two years I have walked or ran more than 100km in the month of May. This year, I am aiming for 200km – or more in honour of my dear friends Cara and Cath. Every time its too hard, or I don’t feel like it, I am reminded of the fact that some of us CANNOT. And so I do for them. I choose to walk to work, or do a few extra miles on the run … and it is very movational. I hope this year I beat my fundraising and mileage goals. It’s helping me train for bigger race goals this fall. The beauty is always in the journey … and I am honoured to run for these fabulous ladies, and anyone else out there who cannot.
