Story

Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.

We are attempting to complete the Staples2Naples banger rally this year in a 1992 Ford Sierra Sapphire. That's about 3,000 miles there and back!!!

We're hoping to have some fun and do something worthwhile along the way.
We have planted trees to make our team carbon-neutral and would like to help raise awareness of an illness that has affected people we care about.

M.E. (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/ Encephalopathy) is a chronic, fluctuating illness. It is also known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). Sometimes it is diagnosed as Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome (PVFS). The illness affects many parts of the body, such as the nervous and immune systems. The most common symptoms are severe fatigue or exhaustion, problems with memory and concentration and muscle pain.

It can be hard to diagnose and most people and a lot of doctors don't have a great understanding of this life-changing illness. I would like to help to raise awareness and promote research and care.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Action for M.E. gets your money directly and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor us now!
