This is the team who want to raise awareness and cash for the ME Association. Our lovely daughter/sister/cousin/future sister-in-law Faye has suffered with the horrible illness for the last 8 years- since she was 17! Faye suffers with many symptoms of ME and many associated illnesses such as Fibromyalgia. She shows great strength every single day and we want to show we recognize just how brave and strong she is.
Please help us by donating – In return we’ll take on ‘The Ben’ - climbing to the highest point in the UK- Ben Nevis’s Peak (1,344 metres).
Our Ben Nevis Scottish Highland expedition is a good 11 miles of trekking (up the mountain and back down again) and will take approx. 7hrs.
We may struggle, we may moan, we may ache- but we know it’s nothing compared to Faye’s daily challenge.
ME ASSOCIATION
ME -Myalgic Encephalopathy.
Very Little is known about ME and there are a lot of misconceptions about what it actually is. Lives are drastically changed- in every single aspect – schooling, working, social and family life – all severely restricted.
The copious amounts of symptoms – severe fatigue, painful muscles and joints, sleep disturbance, gastric disturbance, cognitive impairment and often depression all contribute to an unbearable day-to-day life.
The easiest, every-day tasks become impossible for sufferers of ME. Those with ME are often housebound and confined to bed for months and years at a time.
Perhaps the worst thing is the feeling of being helpless, not only for sufferers but for their family and friends.
There is currently no accepted cure of cause and no universally accepted treatment!!!!
Until more information is known, there will remain a wide range of views on how people can be helped.
As research into the cause(s), effective treatments and cures continues, The ME Association offers help and support for 240,000 people who are affected by ME, while also taking very active parts in the medical, welfare and general national arenas.
