Donations cannot currently be made to this page

Cambridge Half Marathon 2012 · 11 March 2012 ·

The ME Association campaigns hard to get ME recognised as a severe neurological illness. Our helpline provides essential information and support to adults and children who have ME/CFS, and to their families and carers. We also fund biomedical research into the physical nature and causes of ME/CFS.

Story

<p>&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal">On the 11th of March I will be taking part in the Cambridge half-marathon. Those of you know know me well will know that I am not a natural long distance runner. The combination of a right knee seemingly made of Shredded Wheat, and a running style more Mo Slater than Mo Farah has not made for especially enjoyable training, but I think I am finally approaching a stage where I will just about be able to haul my creaking skeleton around the course in one go.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">I wholeheartedly appreciate that we are going through A Time Of Unprecedented Economic Hardship, but any contributions whatsoever would be really appreciated.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Please do feel free to pass a link to this page onto any family, friends, colleagues or any eccentric billionaires you may know.&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for your time,&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Tom</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><em><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: &amp;amp;amp;amp; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
