Please help us to support people with CFS & ME.
In 2016 my brother was diagnosed with CFS and the illness fully paralysed him. He has since learned to walk, talk, attend online open university, and inspires everyone around him daily.
ME (Myalgic Encephalopathy), or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, blights the lives of 250,000 people in the UK today. The smallest exertion can floor them; their joints and muscles ache unbearably; restful sleep eludes them; and ‘brain fog’ clouds their thinking. It changes lives drastically – disrupting study; making work impossible; and straining family relations to breaking point. Many sufferers cannot leave their homes. There is no known cure.
The ME Association has supported my family and many others immensely. So, I, alongside some family and friends (Will Barnaville, Mary Barnaville, Harriet Townsend, Tom Dowling, and Tom Ray) will be running the Battersea Park Half Marathon in March, aiming to give back to the charity that has supported my brother for 8 years.
Please help us to help them and donate anything you can.
