Brighton Half Marathon 2011 · 20 February 2011 ·

ME Research UK exists solely to fund high quality biomedical studies into the causes and treatment of ME/CFS. This illness affects over 400,000 people in the UK but is neither well understood nor, in many cases, properly recognised. We fund highly regarded, peer-reviewed research worldwide.

Story

<p><strong>STOP PRESS!</strong></p> <p>Rather than the&nbsp;Brighton 1/2 in 2011, I'm running the&nbsp;Hastings 1/2 on 25th March 2012.&nbsp;The change of event was due to a knee injury.</p> <p><strong>ORIGINAL MESSAGE</strong></p> <p><em>Thanks for visiting my JustGiving page! Donations made here are simple, fast, totally secure... and greatly appreciated!</em></p> <p><em>My commitment is twofold: I'll run a half marathon to raise money for ME Research and I'll match the highest donation made! (small print - up to &pound;100 max!)</em></p> <p><em>Please be sure to Gift Aid your donation (if you pay UK tax) so that George Osborne also contributes to&nbsp;this worthwhile cause.</em></p> <p><em>ME or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is a debilitating illness which affects up to 240,000 people in the UK, but which is not well understood.&nbsp;There are probably many more sufferers who haven't waited for diagnosis. ME Research UK invests all monies raised straight into research. They raise around &pound;200,000 every year, compared to Cancer Research who raise&nbsp;&pound;483 million per year. Every pound that we can raise is therefore vital for this essential research.</em></p> <p><em>Remember to click the Facebook "Like" button!!</em></p> <p><em>Thank you</em></p>
