Story

Running a marathon has been on my bucket list for many years, having completed a few half marathons & some challenging moor runs.. It feels the right time to be taking on Leeds Marathon and for a super charity too, Fibromyalgia UK… 

Most people haven’t heard of Fibromyalgia, and probably won’t unless it affects somebody close to them. At present, there is very little research being carried out in the UK and sufferers are told there is no cure. 

 Fibromyalgia is a recognised chronic condition of widespread pain and profound fatigue. A common illness with an est. prevalence of 2.9% - 4.7%. The pain tends to be felt as diffuse aching or burning, often described as head to toe. It may be worse at some times than at others and may also change location, usually becoming more severe in parts of the body that are used most. Symptoms often include: unrefreshing sleep, headaches, irritable bowel, cognitive disturbances, clumsiness, dizziness, allergies, sensitivity to environmental changes.

FMA UK is a registered charity administered by unpaid volunteers. The majority of volunteers are fibromyalgia sufferers who work extremely hard, despite their condition, in order to forward the cause of fibromyalgia.

Please donate what you can to support this charity!

Thank you so much
