Story

I'm not one for thrill rides, or heights and I kind of thought that my "big" challenge was done when I did the zipline over the clyde a couple of years ago....BUT I know how important the work fma UK does in terms of supporting people with fibro and also raising awareness in and educating the wider community so here we are!!

I know there are so many great causes looking for support right now so please know that every single penny donated will be gratefully received and will support fma UK in continuing with their amazing work.

Below is the official bit from FMA UK

Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition of widespread pain and profound fatigue. It is a common illness that is thought to affect 1 in 20 people in the UK.

Being diagnosed with fibromyalgia can leave someone feeling alone, doubting what they are experiencing, fighting stigma from those around them, and desperately seeking information and support.

Fibromyalgia Action UK exists to help people in their daily struggle with fibro. Our helplines and services offer support and advice across the UK to those affected by fibromyalgia.

They receive no government or local authority funding and rely on the generosity of people just like you.

Will you help me raise funds to support people affected by fibromyalgia?
