Story

A huge thank you to all our sponsors for the incredible support in our fundraising. The difference this fundraising will make to an organisation the size of Shift is significant as they aim to reach and support more people with multiple sclerosis.

Hayley and I finished in approximately 9 hours and really enjoyed the challenge, amongst the stunning scenery of the Yorkshire Three Peaks. We had begun our descent from the final peak of Ingleborough before the rain set in thankfully!

Thank you and All the best!

On Sunday 26th June, Hayley and I will be taking part in the Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge, a 24 mile route including a total ascent of 5,200 ft over the peaks of Penyghent, Whernside and IngleboroughWe are raising money for Shift.ms a charity launched by my younger brother, George, following his diagnosis with MS at the age of 22.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a neurological condition affecting approximately 2.5 million people around the world and approximately 100,000 people in the UK. Most (but not all) people are diagnosed in their 20s and 30s. MS is the most commonly diagnosed neurological condition in people in their 20s and 30s in the UK. Despite this, George found it difficult to find other MSers of his age, even online. 

Shift.ms is a social network for young and recently diagnosed people with multiple sclerosis. The aim of Shift is to create a positive, enabling community which empowers MSers to acknowledge their MS, rethink how to achieve their ambitions and get on with their lives.

Shift.ms now has over 9,000 members worldwide. Further information is available at www.shift.ms

In an era of ultra-marathons and extreme challenges, the Yorkshire Three Peaks represents no more than a long and hilly Sunday walk in God’s Own Country. However we are raising money for Shift.ms a charity that is close to our hearts: providing support for young people with MS. We would be extremely grateful for any donations.

Thank you!

All the best

Henry
