Hello there and thank you for visiting my fundraising page!
Chances are that if we've spoken for any duration of time, you'll know I've run a marathon or three (despite it being far from my best distance!). While I've run for charities in the past, I'm yet to fundraise for a marathon. Well this April that changes. I've been lucky enough to secure a place for the London Marathon and I've decided to raise some much needed funds for Action for M.E. 

I've decided to support this organisation after a mate was diagnosed with M.E., and I saw the impact M.E. had on his life and those around him. Put simply there isn't enough support for those living with the condition.

There's some text below that explains a bit about M.E., and a link to Action for M.E.'s website; and while I'm not an expert, I'm happy to share the information I've picked up too. 

Thanks for any donations you can make,
Kenny

What is M.E and What do Action for M.E do?

Imagine having months off from work because you are so ill, so pole-axed by fatigue and pain, that you are no longer able to tell the time when you look at the face of a clock. Imagine you can no longer read even the shortest paragraph because your power of concentration is reduced to zero.

That is the experience of many thousands of people with the chronic neurological condition myalgic encephalomyelitis (M.E.), sometimes diagnosed as chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS, or M.E./CFS), which affects around 250,000 people in the UK, and 35 million worldwide.

Action for M.E. takes action to end the ignorance, injustice and neglect faced by people with M.E. Alongside providing information, support and advice to people to help improve their health and well-being, Action for M.E. works with professionals to enhance the care and support that people with M.E. receive and funds pilot research projects to advance knowledge of the illness.

Thank you in advance if you can help by making a donation :)
