My personal message:

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page. ME Research is a charity that supports research into myalgic encephalomyelitis. Jon Gay and Peter Ward aim to run the Higlander Mountain Marathon, a two day event, to raise money for ME Research.

Jon himself suffered from ME following a viral infection. He helped save the life of his friend Simon Overton when Simon collapsed climbing at altitude in the Tien Shan. Simon is now being helped by research funded through ME Research UK that looks at the effects of viral infection on the haemodynamic response in the brain. With treatment he is now doing well.

Please dig deep and sponsor Jon Gay and Peter Ward online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor ME Research UK (ME Research Group For Education And Support, MERGE) 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.

So please sponsor Jon and Peter now!

Many thanks for your support.
