LET'S KISS GOODBYE TO MS

I am inspired by the work of Kiss Goodbye to MS and I want to do something to make a difference!

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic and often debilitating disease which attacks the central nervous system (the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves).

It is the most common neurological disease in young adults and often attacks people at a time in their lives when they are planning families and building a career.

Three out of four people living with MS are women.

Your donation will support life-changing research into the prevention, treatment and finding a cure for multiple sclerosis.

I originally planned to complete 12 marathons in 2025, one per month. When I found out that my sister was diagnosed with MS, I wanted to help in any way that I could. I am now completing this marathon a month for Erica to help raise money and awareness of this disease. I will run a total of 506.4km this year and would love it if you could help me by making a donation. 

Thank you!

Marathon #1 Cadbury Marathon Hobart

Friday 3rd Jan
I will be completing my first marathon of the challenge on Saturday 11th January in Hobart. This is the first of 12 for the year. It seemed fitting to start with the Cadbury marathon, which is where my marathon journey first began back in 2017. When I finished this the first time, I told myself that I would not do this again. Here we are over 7 years later, about to complete 12! 
I would love for you to support me in raising awareness of MS and lets kick this thing one run at a time! 
Doing it for Erica!
