I was diagnosed with #MS in 2022, couldn't feel my right leg which made it near impossible to run and I chucked it for a while.
Things slowly improved and today I ran my 3rd fastest marathon @LondonMarathon with 2.54
So glad I didn't give up.

🚨🇮🇷 A MESSAGE FROM SOMEONE WHO JUST GOT OUT OF IRAN
A young Iranian guy just crossed from Iran into Turkey and recorded a message for the world.
He says people outside Iran have no idea how bad it really is.
Not arrests. Not beatings. Killings.
He says protesters are being shot straight in the chest. Not warning shots. Not accidents. Deliberate.
Over and over.
According to him, the death toll people see online is nowhere close to reality. Bodies disappear.
Families stay quiet. Fear fills the gaps.
People inside can’t speak. People outside aren’t seeing it.
That silence is doing a lot of work right now.

Below is a picture of my son who sadly took his own life in March 2024.
My message this morning is one of appeal and understanding. The greatest loss of being a parent is to bury your children before yourself. There were no signs of the mental distress he was going through, we were close and spoke about everything. I believed I was doing the right thing as a dad, listening and talking no matter how uncomfortable the conversation became.
The conversation never once touched on suicide or how we both felt about the subject. When I got the call from Luke's girlfriend, it floored me, it took my breath away and instantly something inside of me died with him.
To all the parents out there, the siblings and the friends of the young community! I implore you to speak up, intervene or guide someone you may know who is suffering. The smile or the laughter you see or hear, may not be genuine.. if you have doubts, talk please.
I will forever punish myself and I will blame myself for Luke's death, it may not be the case but it's how I feel. I do not want anyone to go through the devastation and life shattering impact of suicide.
Please, all I ask is for everyone to share what I have said today, reach out and help anyone you may feel is struggling. Thank you for reading this post today, and share if you think it's appropriate.
November 2001 to March 2024

The Conservatives want £250m of overpaid carer allowances returned even if people only went a few pence over their allowance.
But they allow £14.9bn of PPE to be written off.
Like if you want the £250m to DWP written off
RT if you want the £14.9bn from Michelle Mone and co back
The Prime Minister has now repeatedly said
“We’re cutting taxes by £900 for EVERYONE in work”
That’s not true. It’s COMPLETE BOLL**** and he knows it
If you think @RishiSunak should be asked to correct the record RT this widely

She hasn't been in contact with anyone since 6pm Monday 11th March
She was last spotted in her car in baillieston. The car is pictured.
Anybody has any information please DM me.
Share far n wide folks 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Rishi Sunak decided that the £14.9bn of PPE fraud cannot be investigated and wrote it all off.
This is fraud, theft, corruption on a ridiculous scale.
RT if you think Treason charges for all those in involved need to be brought including those who cover it up.
