Story

Before Hannah got sick five years ago, running a marathon was on her bucket list. Now she too unwell, and has had to make now goals and dreams, so Tom and Tilly (her boyfriend and her best friend) are running one for her. 

Hannah lives with multiple chronic illnesses, but M.E was what started it all. She lost her independence, multiple jobs and chances to live like other twenty somethings. 

"As many as 265,000 people in the UK live with ME/CFS. It is a life-changing and indiscriminate neurological condition that affects adults and children from all socio-economic and ethnic backgrounds. It can lead to long-term disability and a lower quality of life than multiple sclerosis or cancer."
