Campaign: | To raise awareness of ME |
Since my mum was diagnosed with ME, I’ve seen the impact the condition can have.
It can affect a person’s independence and completing everyday tasks can become more difficult.
Also known as chronic fatigue syndrome, the pain and symptoms experienced by those with myalgic encephalopathy are often hidden, and its challenges are not obvious to those with no knowledge of the illness.
With Fixers, I want to raise awareness of ME. I want people to better understand the condition so they can offer support to those living with it.
Here is a list of Fixers helping me with my Fix:
Tim Reynolds | Tom Hendryk | Ryan Ferrie |
Steve Jensen | Daniel Kane | Samuel Sharp |
Chris Hooper | Emily Waldron | Chloe Barnett |
George Thompson | Claire Barrett | Cheyenne Harris |
Connor Moore | Charlie Clarke | Oliver Warner-Smith |
Archie Finlayson | Anthony Foruria | William Haiu-Thomas |
Ben Soutz |
