I got diagnosed with ME in 2001, and had a horrible 2 years, before I found AYME. AYME work hard to reassure, inform, research and just be generally awesome for young people with ME.

It is entirely donation based, and as such, has recently suffered hard times, meaning a lot of it's services such as annual conferences, printed magazines and workshops have had to be stopped.

I'm hoping to raise enough money to make a bit of a difference and continue the services it does still offer, such as the forum which provides a space for young people with ME to share experiences and friendships in a safe environment.

Here’s how your money can help AYME make a difference:  

£20 would maintain AYME’s online message board - combating the heartbreaking isolation of ME/CFS.

£50 would prevent bullying in school by AYME raising understanding of ME/CFS.

£100 would support our helpline services and secure access to prompt diagnosis and support for the 2 in every 100 schoolchildren affected.

£500 would support AYME’s campaign for more research to end this suffering of a condition which has no known cause or cure.

£1000 would fund AYME’s intervention to stop a wrongful and unjust child protection prosecution being pursued.
