My Story
Great North Run 2023
ME (Myalgic Encephalopathy), or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, is an illness that blights the lives of 250,000 people in UK todoy, probably even more getting it via COVID. Even the smallest exertion can floor them; their joints and muscles ache unbearably; restful sleep eludes them; and ‘brain fog’ clouds even the smallest judgment. It changes their lives drastically – disrupting education; making employment impossible; and straining family relations to breaking point. People may be housebound or confined to bed for many months or years. There is no known cure.
My wife Catherine was diagnosed with ME in January of 2016 post a case of Glandular Fever in 2014. It is an invisible disease that is not always taken seriously, understood or recognised. Sufferers like my wife are often left on their own to live with a multitude of life limiting symptoms. Funding for research is desperately needed in the U.K so that we can find a cure. Please donate whatever you can afford it could really make a difference.
