I will be running the Great North Run this year raising money for Action for M.E. People with ME suffer from chronic fatigue and have a variety of other symptoms also. These symptoms can make normal life very difficult and many people become house-bound or even bed-bound due to the illness. However, this condition is poorly understood and the cause is unknown.  A number of my friends and my fiance suffer from this condition and I would love to raise money in order to raise awareness of this disease and fund research to understand this disease more.
