My name is Rory Singer and I am 15 years old, I have had M.E for 6 years. Recently I have been feeling a lot better and as a result wanted to give back to some of the organizations that have helped me and my family over the years. Although I have only recently become a member of AYME of the years I have found it an invaluable source of information and support. Membership for AYME is free so they rely on events like ours to stay running.

On may 12th as part of m.e awareness week we are completing an abseil down Avon Gorge in Bristol to raise funds and awareness for the registered national children’s charity, The Association of Young People with M.E. (No.1082059).

M.E. is a painful, disabling and isolating illness which affects an estimated 25,000 children and young people across the UK. Symptoms include extreme pain and fatigue in the muscles to the point of collapse, weakened immune systems and severe cognitive problems. M.E can leave children and young people wheelchair or even bed-bound for many years. Many are unable to attend school and become isolated. AYME is their lifeline.

AYME is dedicated to the emotional and practical support of children and young people with M.E and their families. Membership is free so AYME relies on fundraising events such as ours to keep its vital services running.

If you would consider supporting us in our challenge for AYME. We would appreciate anything you are willing to give. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this letter, and we hope to hear from you soon.
