My story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

What the hell am I doing running a half marathon? I can't even walk to the chip shop without getting breathless.

I'm doing it because I want to support the ME Association, which is a fantastic charity that supports biomedical research into the nature and causes of the illness in the hope that one day scientists will be able to come up with unique diagnostic markers for ME which will lead to a cure.

The charity also provides support and information to many people in the UK who have the illness. Some are so ill that they cannot leave their homes without support, or cannot get out of bed. ( and not just because they've drunk too much Sauvignon Blanc )

ME Association gets your money faster 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 me now!

Alternatively, just send me chocolate.
