Biomedical research into M.E.is seriously underfunded. We need to do more if we are to learn how and why this cruel illness starts - how to test for it or treat it, or better still, how to cure it.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This March I will be running the London Landmarks Half Marathon for the ME Association. The funds that I am raising will be going towards biomedical research because we do not yet understand what causes ME and there is no known cure for the illness. 

Having a parent suffer from ME all my life means that I see the effects of this debilitating condition every day. Feeling extremely tired and unwell each and every day in addition to a range of other symptoms makes life for ME sufferers very difficult and often frustrating. My dad, along with many others, has had the condition for over 20 years. I am desperate for a cure to be found because nobody should have to go through anything like this for so long!

The ME Association is an amazing charity who fund biomedical research into ME but also provide support for people who suffer from the condition. Unfortunately ME affects over 250,000 people in the UK alone so please donate if you can.


Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
