On Sunday, 2nd March 2025, runners with #TeamMEA will be taking part in one of the year's earliest and most iconic road races - The Brighton Half.

It might feel a bit bracing on the seafront at that time of year. But The ME Association never lets up on the support we provide every day of the year to 265,000 people in the UK whose lives have been blighted by ME (Myalgic Encephalopathy), otherwise known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and to those joining our ranks after suffering with Long Covid.

The smallest exertion can floor them; their joints and muscles ache unbearably; restful sleep eludes them; and ‘brain fog’ clouds their thinking. It changes lives drastically – disrupting study; making work impossible; and straining family relations to breaking point. Many sufferers cannot leave their homes. There is no known cure.
