M.E. Research UK tell us about ‘Walk for ME 2019’
The aim of Walk for ME is to get as many people as possible, especially the family and friends of those affected by ME, to do a sponsored walk, run, swim or ride of whatever length they feel comfortable with. There is no minimum distance, no targets and, although it runs principally through ME Awareness Week (6th to 12th May 2019), no set dates.
This year, 2019, marks the 27th anniversary of International May 12th Awareness Day. The International Awareness Day for the spectrum of illnesses called Chronic Immunological and Neurological Diseases (CIND).
