Join us, as we Walk with M.E.

One in four people with M.E. are so severely ill, they are house or bed-bound; too ill to take even a single step. If you have a friend, family member or colleague living with M.E., you can take part in their honour, helping to raise vital finds and awareness of the condition.

Walk with M.E. is a sponsored walk with a twist: everything is done as a team. The aim is to work together to reach one million steps in 100 days.

This year, we're doing things a little differently as we want everyone who wants to be involved, to be involved.

We're in this together

We know that for many, even just a few steps a day can be challenging so we're asking you to take part in whatever way you can.

As you are part of a team, you can contribute as many, or as few steps as you can managed - everyone is working towards a combined total at the end (we even have a staff team taking part too!).

If your health doesn't allow you to walk any steps at all, we'd still love for you to take part by encouraging your team along the way and spreading the word of the campaign to help raise awareness. Equally, wheelchair users can send us their distance travelled and we'll convert it into steps, to be added to the campaign total.

When is it?

Walk with M.E. 2021 starts on Tuesday 1 June and ends on Wednesday 8 September. This means you will have 100 days to complete your steps and collect donations.

During this time, you will also have the full support of the Action for M.E. fundraising team. We will be on hand to answer any questions you may have about the campaign, as well as to send out regular newsletters, updates and fundraising materials.

How to get involved

If you'd like to take part in Walk with M.E., you can set up your fundraising page on JustGiving and start inviting family, friends and colleagues to join your team!
