ME is a seriously debilitating disease, which is misunderstood and under researched. Affecting over 250,000 people of all ages in the UK, including a close friend, it leaves 25% of its sufferers house or bed bound. The lack of awareness and funding given to the disease only adds to the pain felt by those affected. Therefore, I hope this small effort will help raise funding and awareness for this condition, but above all remind its sufferers that they are not alone.
