Ben's Charity Bike Ride · 1 April 2022

ME Research UK exists solely to fund high quality biomedical studies into the causes and treatment of ME/CFS. This illness affects approximately 250,000 people in the UK but is neither well understood nor, in many cases, properly recognised. We fund highly regarded, peer-reviewed research worldwide.

Story

Hi I'm Ben and I'm 11 years old.  I want to do something to help my Mum, Sonia, as she has suffered from ME/CFS for over 10 years.  So, I have decided to do a sponsored cycle ride accompanied by my Dad, Neil.  My aim is to complete the 12 mile challenging and hilly route of the Cromer to Felbrigg cycle route during the Easter holiday.  It's going to be tough but I'll do it even if it takes me all day!  Hopefully we can find a day when the weather will be kind to us!

Thank you

"....doctors do not treat us and science does not study us. How could a disease this common and this devastating have been forgotten by medicine?" Jennifer BreaME Research UK believes that only biomedical research can find the causes of ME/CFS, improve diagnosis and treatment, and, ultimately, arrive at a cure. That’s why research is our focus. We've awarded 57 grants since 2000 and invested over £2.2million. But research is expensive and becoming more so every day. That’s the challenge we face, and that’s why we need your help.
