The Berkshire MS Therapy Centre
The Berkshire MS Therapy Centre is a Grass Roots organisation that was formed some 29 years ago by a group of people, all suffering from MS, who wanted to create a self-help group to provide therapies, education and support to people with MS in the area to help maintain everyone's independence for as long as possible.
What began in two portakabins in Caversham, is now a purpose build centre in Reading West that serves almost 1,000 people. We provide physiotherapy, chiropody and counselling as our core therapies as well as the ever popular barachamber, providing oxygen therapy.
We rely entirely on donations to exist and every £1 raised in sponsorship from the Mizuno Reading Half Marathon will go directly to providing care and therapies for the local MS community.
We welcome all visitors, so if you would like to see how your sponsorship will be spent, please call Jackie Malcolm and arrange an appointment. Thank you for considering running for the Berkshire MS Therapy Centre.

Pancreatic Cancer UK
Pancreatic cancer is very much a forgotten, under-funded disease.
This is despite the fact that it is the 5th most common cause of cancer deaths in Europe and the USA. In the UK alone, over 7,600 people are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer every year.
Pancreatic cancer has the worst survival rates of the most common cancers. Fewer than 3% of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in the UK survive more than five years. And less than 20% survive more than a year. The long-term survival rates have not improved for 40 years.
We think it's about time that changed.
Run for Pancreatic Cancer UK and you will enable us to fund the most innovative research projects in the UK, and provide vital support to everyone affected by this terrible disease. And you can get fit, have fun, or possibly even do something you have never done before!
Your help is crucial to raise money for our work. We receive no government funding - our funding comes entirely from people like you. So please get involved today.

The Fire Fighters Charity
Every year, thousands of fire fighters are injured whilst protecting the public. Every 30 seconds in the UK, fire fighters are called to an incident, putting their lives on the line, and often sustaining physical injuries whilst carrying out their duties. The Fire Fighters Charity is here for fire fighters during their times of need, and assists thousands of individuals every year, by providing pioneering treatment and support services.
Our modern, dynamic and award-winning charity has three UK centres, located in Cumbria, Devon and West Sussex, which offer varying combinations of therapy and recuperation services. Our pioneering new Beneficiary Support Services also offer local and remote assistance to people in need nationwide.
It costs over £9 million every year to keep the Charity running, and with no government funding, we are completely reliant upon donations and fundraising.
