Action for M.E.
Walk with M.E. 2019
Our fundraising campaign, designed to be accessible for people with M.E. We're looking to build on our incredible 2018 success with more teams, more money raised and for the 2nd year in a row every penny doubled.
Story
Whoever you are, wherever you are, help us Walk with M.E.
Walk with M.E. is a sponsored walk with a twist: everything is done as a team. This means you can take part if you would like to, whatever your level of functionality.
Some people with M.E. are unable to take even a few steps. By working as part of a team to reach the goal of one million steps in 100 hundred days, anyone can take part in Walk with M.E.
We are delighted to announce that a generous family trust has offered to match-fund every penny raised by Walk with M.E. which means everything you raise will be doubled!
Last year, Walk with M.E. saw people like you raise more than £8,000 to support our vital work. Can you help make 2019s Walk with M.E. our best yet?
Taking part as a team
If you have moderate or mild M.E., having a team around you means theres no pressure to do more than you can. Whether you can walk one step or 100 steps, they all count towards the total.
Pace yourself, contribute as many steps as you can (not more than your health will allow), and at the end you and your team will have a total youve reached together.
If you arent able to walk any steps at all, you can take part by encouraging your team and spreading the word to maximise sponsorship.
Walk with M.E. 2019 starts on Friday 1 February and ends on M.E. Awareness Day, Sunday 12 May. Over this time your team will be counting steps and collecting donations, helping make this year our best Walk with M.E. yet.
If youd like to take part, just setup your fundraising page, and start inviting friends, family and colleagues to join your Walk with M.E. team. Dont forget, every penny raised as part of Walk with M.E. will be doubled, thanks to the match-funding support of generous family trust.
