Dillon's fundraiser for ME Research UK

Dillon Moore is raising money for ME Research UK

Marathon Swim · 17 June 2025

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.

Story

Hi everyone,

On Tuesday 17th of June 2025, I am going to be swimming a marathon to raise funds and awareness for ME Research UK.

Swimming has been a huge part of my life growing up and I have made so many friends along the way. One of which, is my good friend James Walton. As some of you may know, James became unwell in 2020 and you can read more about his situation here: https://shorturl.at/89o9J

This event will involve swimming a full marathon distance of 26.2 miles (42.2 km), which translates to 1,688 lengths of my local leisure centre pool. I warmly invite anyone who wishes to join me—whether for just one length or all 1688.

My goal is not only to raise funds but also to shine a light on the struggles faced by those living with ME. Every donation will go directly to this remarkable charity, supporting vital research that brings us closer to finding a cure for this debilitating illness. Your support means the world to me and those affected by ME.

I know money is tight for everyone but I will leave a link below if anyone can spare a few pound and every donation is greatly appreciated:
