This year, once again, I'm aiming to raising awareness and better understanding of my illness M.E. (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) through my poetry. I'm also aiming to raise funds for the charity Invest in ME Research.

Each year May is special as it's designated as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis awareness month.

I first self published a book of my poems entitled '31 days in May' in 2019 and a second book entitled 'Another 31 days in May' in 2022. Once again in 2026 I've self published a book of poems entitled 'Yet another 31 days in May'.

Each book includes 31 poems - one for each day in May.

The poems are about living with M.E. and attempt to express the harsh reality of living with this long term chronic illness.

I hope you support me and Invest in ME Research.
