I’m living with M.E. (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) myself, so this fundraiser is deeply personal.

M.E. is a fluctuating chronic health condition that affects the whole body, often developing after a virus or infection. It can cause profound fatigue, pain, brain fog, sleep problems and sensory sensitivity, and even small amounts of activity can significantly worsen symptoms. Despite how life-changing it can be, there is still no cure and no effective treatment, and far too little public understanding.

That’s why I’m hosting Blue Threads for M.E. on Instagram with the making community. By creating and sharing something blue for M.E. Awareness Day (12th May), we’re helping make this often invisible condition visible, while raising vital funds for Action for M.E. to support much needed biomedical research, better care, and real change for people living with M.E.

Every donation helps move us closer to answers, treatments, and a better future.
