Donations cannot currently be made to this page

Reading Half Marathon 2012 · 1 April 2012 ·

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> <p><strong>My sister has had severe M.E. for 22 years are there is still no cure and a great lack of understanding about it, particularly in the medical profession. &nbsp;</strong></p> <p><strong>One of its effects is that she has very little energy; walking to the toilet is like running a half &nbsp;marathon. &nbsp;At her worst, tiny activities (such as eating - even lying flat in bed) were enough to trigger a very painful collapse. Now she is well enough for occasional short wheelchair rides, while many of her friends remain bedbound.</strong></p> <p><strong>A new film 'Voices from the Shadows' is out in January 2012 also to raise awareness and I hope to raise some money to support Research.</strong></p> <p><strong>http://voicesfromtheshadowsfilm.co.uk/</strong></p> <p><strong>I'm running the Reading Half Marathon in aid of M.E. Research UK. &nbsp;</strong></p> <p><strong>TO SPONSOR ME BY TXT MESSAGE</strong></p> <p><strong>Text 'TREV80 &pound;1' to 70070 to sponsor me &pound;1 or if you can afford to sponsor me &pound;2, &pound;5, or &pound;10!</strong></p> <p><strong>Thanks so much for your support. &nbsp;Trev x</strong></p> <p><strong>http://www.TrevWilliams.co.uk</strong></p> </p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
