Peter Amos has a relative with myalgic encephalomyelitis. He said:
“I'm running in the Bupa Great North Run Sunday 18th of September and want to raise as much money as possible for Let's do it for ME in support of Invest in M.E. and their plans to open a Centre for Biomedical Research into M.E. in East Anglia, the first of it's kind in Europe.
Let's do it for ME is a patient driven initiative in support of Invest in ME and gives great hope to the estimated 250,000 sufferers in the U.K. 25% of whom are severely affected / bed bound. Also for the very many children and teenagers who suffer from this debilitating illness.
Thank you for your generous support,
Peter.”
UPDATE
Peter finished the run in a time of 2.03.49 and has raised £756 so far!
He has asked us to pass on a big thank you to all those who have sponsored him and for all the support and encouraging posts and comments.
Peter's fundraising page on Everyclick remains open until 31st October so there is still plenty of time to donate in support of his achievement.
