On Sunday, 6th April 2025, I will be running for the ME Association in the London Landmarks Half Marathon.

My sister has ME and runs the Gloucestershire support group so I really want to help support her and her amazing group.

I want to raise money to help the charity with their fantastic campaigns designed to help every one of the 265,000 people in the UK whose lives have been blighted by ME (Myalgic Encephalopathy), otherwise known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

The charity is also offering brilliant support to people still suffering from the devastating effects of Long Covid, which in many respects looks so much like ME/CFS.

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.

Sadly, there is still no known cure but monies raised can continue scientific research to hopefully make this possible in the future.

Am very proud to be running for the ME Association and a big thank you to anyone who has sponsored me!
