'Thanks' go to Helen for her epic 'marathon' walk of 2.6 miles. She attempted this feat only eight months after she had TM and was paralysed. Having learned to walk again, she decided to challenge herself to do this walk to raise funds  for her charities. 

With gift aid, she has raised three times the goal she initially set of £260.  Visit her VirginMoneyGiving site if you want to see more details or add a donation. 

Karen Pearson, a long time supporter of the TM Society, usually runs a charity painting day in the spring, but of course this year she couldn't do that.

Undeterred, she recorded three videos for her usual attendees, to keep them busy and to help them feel less isolated. She discovered that other budding artists were enjoying them too, and she has offered them for free in the hopes of getting some donations to the TM Society.

​So why not have a go?
