Hello,

My daughters, Eleanor aged 8, has decided to raise money for ME Association to help people like her dad by walking the Wirral Coastal Walk which is 13 miles long on 16th June 2024. She will be accompanied by her younger sister Isla-Rose age 6 for the second half of the journey.

I was diagnosed with severe ME 10 years ago when I was 29. ME has completely disabled me and turned my world upside down. I'm no longer able to be the person I was, outgoing and active always going on adventures and days out with my wife Becky and my children aged 14, 8, 6 and 18 months. Now I rarely go out and have to rely on my electric wheelchair to go any further than my own driveway even going out for a few hours will wipe me out for days after.

Please help us to support people with ME and their families.

ME (Myalgic Encephalopathy), or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, blights the lives of 250,000 people in 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.

Please help us to help them.
