I am fundraising for Action for M.E. to raise awareness of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and other chronic fatigue conditions.

Action for ME's mission is to improve the lives of all people affected by ME. Taking action to ensure that people with ME receive the understanding, equity and care they deserve. They provide daily support and holistic healthcare services, fund breakthrough research, and campaign for change.

This charity is incredibly important and personal to me - which is why I have opted to run the 2026 Edinburgh Marathon as my main fundraiser to fundraise for them. My mum has lived with ME for over half her life, and although she has mainly good days now, it is always difficult to see her on her bad days. ME/CFS has shaped many of my decisions in life, including my university degree, so I am grateful for the opportunity to run for Action for ME.
