I'm running a 10k at the end of May in aid of The MS Society. You can read my story here, and I'd be eternally grateful if you could sponsor me, which you can do on my Just Giving page.

You can even donate by texting RBMS99 and the amount you'd like to donate (in pounds) to 70070. So, for example, to donate £2, text RBMS99 £2 to 70070.

Thanks very much (in advance) for your support!
