Sam, Dom, Jack & Sean all met at Newcastle University Athletics & Cross Country Club in 2017. This is where we also met our friend Alice.

Alice has been diagnosed with a severe form of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) which has put her life at risk.

Inspired by our friend Jo who raised a staggering amount of money for Action For ME when she ran the London marathon; we 4 idiots decided to do Weymouth Ironman 70.3 to raise some money to help fund research into ME so people like our friend Alice can recieve the best care.

"....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 Brea

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 64 full grants and 5 PhD-level awards since 2000 and invested over £3.5million. But research is expensive and becoming more so every day. That’s the challenge we face, and that’s why we need your help.
