Nass, MS and The Brighton Marathon.
Everyone that knows Nass will agree what a lovely, cheery optimistic person he is. (Well, most of the time hey?)
A few months ago he was diagnosed with M.S.
It was like being hit with a sledgehammer.
After the initial shock wore off, however,
what did my lovely husband do?
In spite of not running for 20 years, he signed up for the
Brighton Marathon! Nass feels it will be his last chance to do a marathon and he wanted something to focus on.
Everone in Arundel will know Tim Bridge, or George,
as we have always known him.
What they might not realise is that Nass and he have known each other since Nass was a boy at Slindon College.
George was one of his teachers and he has always seen Nass as one of his prodigies. You watch him glow with pride when Nass is mentioned
Actually, its more than that... Nass came to England to go to school and
because of the turmoil in his own country,
he couldnt return home and was stranded here.

He came as an 11 year old and did not see his family again until he was 30.
He spent entire holidays in the school alone, when all the other boys went home to their families.
As a result, over the years, people like George became family to him.

George has really stepped up to the mark and is helping Nass train.

I did ask Nass , who says he actually finds running extremely boring,
what used to spur him on then when he did half marathons etc.
He thought for a moment, and I in my innocence assumed he would come up with something very deep and meaningful......
