I'm Steve Jenkins and this is my son Oliver Jenkins. We're running for the MS Trust because a friend of ours
was diagnosed about four years ago and so we've done few events recently and
this is the culmination of those. It was incredible, the crowd was unbelievable and the course was really good.
I don't want to talk too much about it or I'll well up. It was just amazing.
I was quite sad to finish. It was just so good. I enjoyed it so much. I didn't want it to end.
One of the best days of my life. Same.
I am Susie Godley
and I ran with MS for MS. So my husband ran 14 years ago, 13 years ago, and when I was
watching him running I spotted someone with a t-shirt which said with MS for MS
on her t-shirt and that was two years after my diagnosis and it was joyful to
see her looking - I think it was at the 24 mile mark looking really strong, really
able and that just made me realise that I could it. My name is Sean and I ran
today because my Nana died from multiple sclerosis two years ago and in memory of her and
just to raise as much money for a charity so close to my family's heart
I put one trainer in front of the other and ran today
100% do it
Take the challenge. When I started it I didn't run at all, not even a couch to 5k, like just
just no, didn't run, didn't enjoy it. I set myself a £2000 target to raise
and even that seemed so far in the distance, you know everything just seemed too far away
to reach. But four months I gave myself a plan and four months I gave myself
to raise the money and the journey's been incredible
I feel so overwhelmed and emotional it's just been great
My name's Lee Gibbs and this is Christopher Gear
Chris is running as my guide runner today as I'm severely
sight-impaired and I've had multiple sclerosis for seven
years nearly and I ran it last year so we thought we'd go and run it again
So we thought it would be fun to run it again.
So I have a treatment called tysabri
and there's an MS nurse called Noreen and she was the one who said
a lot about MS Trust, so it got me researching into the MS Trust
I just liked what it was all about so I chose the MS Trust for that reason.
My name is Angela Walter and I've run for MS Trust because my partner Kath has got
multiple sclerosis. She was diagnosed 18 months ago and she
looked at all of the MS Charities and MS Trust was the one that she found to be
most supportive and to provide her with the most information and therefore
that's why I've run them for them today. I'd say do a marathon because you'll be
in 1 percent of the population who have ever done a marathon and it is the best thing
in the world and anybody can do a marathon, as long as you make sure you do the
training. But 80% of it is in your head and 20% is fitness but absolutely do it for
the MS Trust because they are supporting so many people and people like my Cath.
I'm Richard Goulder and I like running and I've always wanted to
do the London Marathon and I was lucky enough to get a place through my club
and immediately, as soon as got my place it was an automatic
decision that I wanted to run for the MS Trust. My wife Catherine got a diagnosis
of MS three years ago and you know it's bewildering when you get the
diagnosis and the MS Trust has really been helpful to her in sort of coming to
terms with her disease and helping her decide on the course of treatment and
how to manage her condition so it was a bit of a no-brainer that I
wanted to you know give something back.
I'm Dip Patel
I've decided to run the marathon for the MS Trust because my mother passed away 40 years ago last year and I
wanted to do something to remember her by.
I also started running three years ago, watched the marathon last year, two
together I thought let's just go do it. It was a bit of a leap of faith but I'm
really pleased I did it. I think she'll say why did you do that?
You don't need to do that
But I'm hoping she'd be really proud of me
And so pleased that I've done something for a charity that helps people with MS
