My story

 

Thankyou for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As many of you are aware my sister Lois, sadly died on the 17th March this year.  I wanted to do something in her memory, so am cycling 1000 miles up through the UK from Lands End to John O Groats in September.

Lois had ME/CFS since her teens, so I will be raising money for ME Research UK, a national charity funding biomedical research into ME/CFS. 

ME Research UK is a charity with the principal aim of commissioning and funding biomedical investigation into the causes, consequences and treatment of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. This is a debilitating illness which affects between 120,000 and 240,000 people in the UK, but which is not well understood nor, in many cases, properly recognised.

Please donate to aid the research. Thank you.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate.
