Belfast City Marathon 2009 · 4 May 2009 ·

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

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page
The reason I am taking part once again in the Belfast Marathon with my husband Paul, son Paul,sister Jeanette and a few friends is to raise much needed awareness and Funds into bio-medical research into ME.
There is now much scientific evidence that M.E. is a complex physical disorder of the nervous/immune systems, possibly with viral cause. Very little help is available on the NHS and sufferers & their carers are usually left to cope on their own whilst their lives fall apart.
 TRUST ME I KNOW I HAVE WATCHED IT DESTROY MY CHILD'S LIFE.
PLEASE SUPPORT US !
Remember ME doesn't pick and choose who it comes to next time it could be YOU.
I know times are tough for families to donate to charities,
but in this case every penny does count, no matter how little.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: ME Research UK (ME Research Group For Education And Support, MERGE) gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
