What's this all about? This summer we (Thomas, Miriam and Daniel) are going to attempt the Three Peak Challenge to fundraise and raise awareness for M.E. 

What is M.E.? M.E. (myalgic encephalomyelitis) is defined by the World Health Organisation as “a chronic complex neurological illness”. The main symptoms are severe exhaustion, muscle fatigue, muscle and joint pain, cognitive dysfunction, and un-restorative sleep. M.E. often starts with something like a ‘flu virus that knocks you sideways'. You expect to get over it in a week or so, but weeks, months and even years go by, and you feel no better... The ME Association believe that well over 250,000 people in the UK are living with this nightmare of an affliction.

What does ME Association do? The ME Association plays a vital role giving people with M.E. the long-term support they need now. They are also funding biomedical research to give everyone hope of a better future.

What can you do? Well this M.E. awareness week we invite you to join us and walk for ME. It doesn't need to be a long walk but we are hoping that between all of us we will at least cover the distance of the Three Peaks Challenge (23 miles). We also encourage you to pledge a donation to support ME Association. Fill in our form and let us know how far you are walking and donate here!
