Eloise cutting hair for charity

Rachel Down is raising money for ME Research UK

Eloise cutting hair for charity · 14 November 2021

ME Research UK exists solely to fund high quality biomedical studies into the causes and treatment of ME/CFS. This illness affects approximately 250,000 people in the UK but is neither well understood nor, in many cases, properly recognised. We fund highly regarded, peer-reviewed research worldwide.

Story

I decided to have my hair cut and donate it to The Little Princess Trust to be turned into wigs for children with cancer. I would also like to raise funds for research into my illness via the charity ME research UK who say:

 “doctors do not treat us and science does not study us. How could a disease this common and this devastating have been forgotten by medicine?" Jennifer Brea. ME Research UK believes that only biomedical research can find the causes of ME/CFS, improve diagnosis and treatment, and, ultimately, arrive at a cure. That’s why research is our focus. We've awarded 57 grants since 2000 and invested over £2.2million. But research is expensive and becoming more so every day. That’s the challenge we face, and that’s why we need your help.I’ll old is it

Any donation, no matter how small, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much in advance. Eloise
