Story

Hello!

This is my BlueBean plan.

The blue bean is a symbol of the character my sister and I created when writing letters to each other when she was first diagnosed. The Bean was our sign of hope and way to cope with the struggle.

He is also blue as that is the international colour of M.E. He's cute because my mum made him herself. :)

I will be running and training for a Half Marathon, most importantly I want to use the 'run up' to the day to keep raising awareness of this condition.

This fundraiser has been postponed to 2023 due to the current situation.

...doctors do not treat us and science does not study us. How could a disease this common and this devastating have been forgotten by medicine?" Jennifer BreaME Research UK believes that only biomedical research can find the causes of ME/CFS, improve diagnosis and treatment, and, ultimately, arrive at a cure. That’s why research is our focus. We've awarded 48 grants since 2000 and invested over £1.5million. But research is expensive and becoming more so every day. That’s the challenge we face, and that’s why we need your help.
