Story

As some of you may know my little sister Mia was diagnosed with ME/CFS early this year. A chronic illness which causes constant fatigue that won't go away with just rest or sleep. At the time I didn't know what it was and I didn't understand what she was going through. Mia wasn't herself, she felt ill all the time and had no energy and nobody knew why. She went from being her bubbly little self, someone who enjoyed life and made the most of everything to someone that was in pain and on bad days could hardly move.  She can now no longer stand and she's in a wheelchair and although she does have good days now, It's been horrible to see her have to go through all of it and to see my family go through it too, so I've decided to do a bungee jump in hope of raising some money to go towards charities which support ME patients. I realised recently we didn't know anything about this illness until early this year and now it's affected all of us. I would just love to help in any way I can, it really would be great if you could help too, any sponsors would really be appreciated! Thank you xx
