<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. A friend of mine has been greatly affected by ME in recent years and I would love to raise some money to help a great organisation working in this field. The ME Association is commited to:</p> <p>- Providing information and support for those affected by ME, their families and carers.</p> <p>- Funding research into ME.</p> <p>- Campaigning and educating medical professionals, health authorities and government bodies on ME.</p> <p>See their website for further details: <a href="http://www.meassociation.org.uk/">http://www.meassociation.org.uk/</a></p> <p>On a personal note I have never taken part in a race before, this is by far the longest distance I have ever run and until about a month ago I was getting next to no exercise at all, so this&nbsp;will be a real challenge for me. So please dig deep and donate now.</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Fraser</p>
