What is Walk for ME?
The organisers say: “The whole idea is that the friend or family member is doing something that their loved one would love to be able to do but can’t.”
Walk for ME invites people, especially the family and friends of people living with ME, to do a sponsored walk, run, swim, or ride of whatever length they feel comfortable with.
ME Research UK is grateful to once more be chosen as one of two for Walk for ME’s 2026 scheme.
