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

<p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">This year I am undertaking a challenge of my life (so far) I am currently training (very hard) to take part in the Brentwood Half Marathon on Sunday 25 March 2012 and then the London Marathon on Sunday 22 April 2012 and then Southend Half Marathon on 10 June 2012. As well as being a personal challenge I am looking to raise as much money for a charity that means a lot to me and my family. My niece Eleri (21) and nephew Cerith (19) suffer from ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) my nephew has suffered since he was 11 and my niece since she was 13 as you can see for quite sometime and they are both need full-time care. </span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Thank</span>s for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
