My story

April 13th 2008 - Eleanor and Jo are running the London Marathon.

Action for M.E. is the UK's leading charity dedicated to improving the lives of people with M.E. and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (also known as Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome).

We have chosen to support a cause of which we have experience and are looking forward to the big day, despite the weeks of hard training ahead of us.  We have both also given up alcohol from January 1st which adds to the effort!

Some of you will have known Eleanor through her illness.  Others, knowing her now, will find it hard to imagine a time when simply getting out of bed in the morning was exhausting.  Whichever camp you fall in we hope that you will support us in our marathon efforts!

Please give generously to El on this site, and consider visiting Jo's site at www.justgiving.com/jowest to leave her a donation too.  Thank you for your support.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Action for M.E. will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
