Hi! My name is Alexandra and I am running 200km over the month of November to raise vital funds for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) research in Australia. MS is an acquired chronic neurological disease and is the result of damage to myelin – a protective sheath surrounding nerve fibres of the central nervous system. When myelin is damaged this interferes with messages between the brain and other parts of the body. There is no single cause or cure to MS and is why I will be running 50km weekly for a month to help find better ways to treat, prevent and ultimately cure MS. All donations will go directly to MS Australia, the national peak body for people affected by MS which is dedicated to advocacy, education and funding multiple sclerosis (MS) research. I am hoping to raise $5000, so I encourage you all to donate so together we can help find a cure and prevent MS !
