All of us at ME Research UK are so very grateful for the support the charity receives from its fundraisers. It is only because of your support that we can continue to inform, influence, and invest in ME/CFS research globally. Without you, our current projects simply would not be funded.
So – join us as we thank all of our amazing fundraisers. And, if you feel inspired, why not look at our Fundraising Guide which gives tips and links to start your own project?
George Short is shaving her head in support of “three of the most extraordinary women” in her life – Amy, Be (Abbey), and Ella.
She says: “These young women have dedicated their lives to medicine and conservation and they deserve their health back so they can continue caring for people and the planet alike. n my 30th birthday, I’m shaving my head to raise money for ME Research UK and I’d be so grateful if you can help in whatever way you can.”
Thank you so much, George – and we wish you and Amy, Be, and Ella the very best.
Emily Cahir is cycling around 3000km from the southernmost point to the northernmost point of Norway.
She says: “I fell ill towards the end of my first year at uni. I have been incredibly blessed to have since made a full recovery, however, many people experience far worse symptoms than I did and do not recover, with some people bed bound for life.”
Your cycling is an inspiration, Emily – thank you so much.
Rosie Hoggmascall is running on behalf of ME Research UK in the 2026 TCS London Marathon!
“My mum’s had ME since she was 16. She had to leave school and work in her twenties, and has spent most of her adult life managing symptoms in the background. Running for ME Research UK is a way to show up, raise money, and move the conversation forward for a condition that’s long overdue more attention.”
Thank you so much, Rosie – and good luck!
ThatVoidKid is hosting a Twitch Stream on August 01 to raise funds for ME/CFS research.
