Hi All, I’m Alice and I’m currently 21 years old. I got diagnosed with MPN ET in 2019. It’s taken a while for me to come to terms with it and live with it. I’m happy and healthy and ready for a challenge.
This year I will be taking part in the Manchester half Marathon on the 26th of May. I will be fundraising for MPN voice. Any donations or shares would be appreciated so much!! ♥️
Hi Alice, thank you so much for taking part in the Manchester half marathon to raise awareness of MPNs and also funds to support MPN Voice, we appreciate it so much, you are amazing. Best wishes, Maz 😀
Very cool that you have found a way to turn a negative into a positive too...
I'm Steve from Sydney, where I have done something similar, although running is out for me... (no ggod for these old knees). I stick to cycling & completed a successful Fundraiser & Awareness event on Dec. 03 2023 - THE SECRET DYARUBBIN RIVER RIDE...
Here's a LINK to ourMPN Charity Website (MATES), where you can see the short film I 've made & Posted on our Sponsor's Page etc.
You're doing more than you probably realize. You're not just raising money. You're modeling a winning attitude and strength of character necessary to get through this run and the often misunderstood challenges of ET. I wish I could have given 10x what we have donated.
Similar to you, my son was diagnosed at age 19. You are an inspiration and brings this mom (and fellow marathoner) joy for your future, and others like you and my son. Run like the wind!
