My story

Having completed the BUPA Great Edinburgh 10K & Great North Runs last year I`ve decided to continue the trend in 2009 and have entered both races again. In between I will be running in as many other races as I can manage. I`m doing this to raise funds for AYME, a charity which does wonderful work supporting young people with ME and their families.
ME is a painful, disabling and isolating illness affecting around 25,000 children and young people across the UK. Symptoms include extreme pain and fatigue in the muscles, weakened immune systems and cognitive problems amongst other things. It leaves children and young people who should be bursting with life and energy lethargic and disabled. Sufferers are often unable to attend school or even study at home. Friends disappear; brothers and sisters find the illness hard to understand. Young sufferers lose their confidence, self-esteem and sense of purpose.
My daughter Kirsty suffers from ME, and AYME have helped her enormously.
I really appreciate any donations you can make, and thank you for visiting my page.
