Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Living with CFS/ME myself – although thankfully getting better all the time – I'm aware of how poorly understood it is. ME Research UK is the only UK charity that raises money specifically to fund scientific research into this debilitating condition, its underlying causes and potential treatments. That's why I'm cycling 106 very hilly miles in this year's Virgin Money Cyclone Challenge (Newcastle–Rothbury–Bellingham–Newcastle), having only got back on a bike last May after about twenty years off. Please support me in this ridiculous endeavour by donating generously.

And if it goes well, I might do the Hell of Hexham in July...

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

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.
