Paris Marathon 2025 · 13 April 2025 ·

The ME Association campaigns hard to get ME recognised as a severe neurological illness. Our helpline provides essential information and support to adults and children who have ME/CFS, and to their families and carers. We also fund biomedical research into the physical nature and causes of ME/CFS.

Story

I am running in the Paris Marathon on 13th April 2025! To help me train for this event, on the lead up to it I am running in the Gower half marathon on 9th November 2024. Rather than making separate pages I thought I would make one to cover them all.

I have selected the ME Association as this charity is close to my heart as my auntie suffers from Myalgic Encephalopathy (ME).

ME or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, blights the lives of 250,000 people in UK today. The smallest exertion can floor them; their joints and muscles ache unbearably; restful sleep eludes them; and ‘brain fog’ clouds their thinking. It changes lives drastically – disrupting study; making work impossible. Many sufferers cannot leave their homes. There is no known cure. So please help me fundraise to further the research.
