Story

Join our Play in May campaign by hosting your own gaming event, gaming marathon, or tournament, or alternatively challenge yourself to game.

If gaming is not your thing, you could live-stream a hobby, organise a quiz etc. anything on the theme of play. The idea is to have fun, raise awareness of fibromyalgia, and fundraise. See https://sh.fmauk.org/PlayinMayInfo for more information and to download your fundraising pack.

Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition of widespread pain and profound fatigue. It is a common illness that is thought to affect 1 in 20 people in the UK. 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 and usually becoming more severe in parts of the body that are used most. Add. symptoms often include: unrefreshing sleep, headaches, irritable bowel, cognitive disturbances, clumsiness, dizziness, and allergies.

Being diagnosed with fibromyalgia can leave someone feeling alone, doubting what they are experiencing, fighting stigma from those around them, and desperately seeking information and support.

Fibromyalgia Action UK exists to help people in their daily struggle with fibro. Their helplines and services offer support and advice across the UK to those affected by fibromyalgia.

We receive no government or local authority funding and rely on the genorosity of our donors.

Will you help us raise funds to help provide hope to those left isolated by this lifelong condition?
