Story
Myself, my partner Michael and some of my close friends will be doing the kilt walk 11.3 miles on the 13th of September this year in memory of my mum who sadly passed away on August 2025 from heart attack. She had fibromyalgia throughout the years and unfortunately a bad flare up can actually be a hidden sign of a heart attack which I don’t personally think is taken seriously enough. I would like to try do something to raise more awareness of fibromyalgia and do something special for my mum. Any donation would be greatly appreciated but please don’t feel pressured to. ❤️
Fibromyalgia is a recognised chronic condition of widespread pain and profound fatigue. A common illness with an est. prevalence of 2.9% - 4.7%. The pain tends to be felt as diffuse aching or burning, often described as head to toe. It may be worse at some times than at others and may also change location, usually becoming more severe in parts of the body that are used most. Add. symptoms often include: unrefreshing sleep, headaches, irritable bowel, cognitive disturbances, clumsiness, dizziness, allergies, sensitivity to environmental changes.
