5K for 7 days · 12 May 2017

ME Research UK exists solely to fund high quality biomedical studies into the causes and treatment of ME/CFS. This illness affects approximately 250,000 people in the UK but is neither well understood nor, in many cases, properly recognised. We fund highly regarded, peer-reviewed research worldwide.

Story

"....doctors do not treat us and science does not study us. How could a disease this common and this devastating have been forgotten by medicine?" Jennifer Brea ME research

My daughter, Grace,  was diagnosed with ME (and other associated chronic illnesses) in 2015. I have watched her suffering every day with no answers from the professionals. I'm hoping that by donating money towards research that we will find new treatments and better care for all sufferers.

I often feel helpless in caring for her as there seems to be no end to the growing list of symptoms and difficulties she faces.

ME awareness week begins on May 12th. I'll be starting my challenge then(May 12th-19th). Feel free to join pooch and I for a good dander and natter!!

Thankyou everyone for your donations so far. There's another £25 to add to the total
