Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.) is a long-term (chronic), fluctuating, neurological condition that causes symptoms affecting many body systems, more commonly the nervous and immune systems. M.E. affects an estimated 250,000 people in the UK, and around 17 million people worldwide.

People with M.E. experience debilitating pain, fatigue and a range of other symptoms associated with post-exertional malaise, the body and brain’s inability to recover after expending even small amounts of energy.

As a result of my 25 years of living with M.E., I have a personal understanding of the devastating impact the illness can have on a person’s life. I’m also aware how the correct support and information is so important in empowering us to receive the help we need and learning how to manage our health. 

Action for M.E. provides support, advocacy and information for those touched by M.E., campaigns for better services and invests in research to ultimately find a cure. They have been a huge support to me so I’m fundraising to support the amazing work that Action for M.E. do.

It would be great if you could donate and share my page so I can raise as much as possible to help them offer invaluable information and support to empower people living with M.E., along with funding research for desperately needed treatments.
