May is ME Awareness Month and we would love you to join us for the #GoBlue4ME challenge.  

We are calling on you, the lovely wild swimming community to do what you love, taking the plunge and going for a swim, all in aid of this debilitating and life-changing chronic illness. 

Tam from The Wild Swim Store lives with ME so this is a cause close to our hearts. 

Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a complex multisystem neurological disease that affects more than 250,000 people in the UK. To find out more about ME please visit https://meassociation.org.uk

The ME Association campaigns hard to get ME recognised as a severe neurological illness. Their helpline provides essential information and support to adults and children who have ME/CFS, and to their families and carers. They also fund biomedical research into the physical nature and causes of ME/CFS.
