My Story

Not only am I running the London Marathon on April 21 for Action for M.E. I am also running the Rome Marathon on March 17.

Action for M.E are the only charity in the UK supporting people with M.E. of all ages. It's a particularly unknown illness, which often people will only have heard of if they know someone affected. My fundraiser is therefore to raise awareness as well as much needed funds for the charity. 

M.E has directly affected our family, and so to be able to run for the charity means a huge amount. 

Some information on M.E

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.) is a long-term (chronic), fluctuating, neurological condition that causes symptoms affecting many body systems, more commonly the nervous and immune systems. M.E. affects an estimated 250,000 people in the UK, and around 17 million people worldwide.

People with M.E. experience debilitating pain, fatigue and a range of other symptoms associated with post-exertional malaise, the body and brain’s inability to recover after expending even small amounts of energy.
