You are all superstars and we cannot thank you enough! Enjoy reading your stories below.

Meet our 2024 TCS London Marathon Runner Team
Let us introduce you to our fabulous team for the 2024 TCS London Marathon! They are already busy training for the big day and we thought, we would share a little more information about each of them with you over the next few months.
Our second runner is Kevin…
“Hi, I’m Kevin. This will be my 35th London Marathon and my third for the MPS Society!! I’ve raised about £120,000 for charity over the years and about £10,000 for the MPS Society and my little friend Harvey who has MPS. Hopefully I can raise more than the £4,000 I raised last time! This is a photo of me with Harvey."
If you would like to support Kevin, visit his Just Giving page.
Thank you to everyone who has donated to the MPS Society this month, your support means the world to us!
Thanks to your efforts, an amount like this could help us to assist more than 120 families a year with tailored support, advocacy and information.
