Pretty sad that this is my life now. Everything I've ever worked for, taken from me. Have a read of this @wesstreeting and @AshleyDalton_MP and decide if the ME community still doesn't deserve appropriate funding for the ME action plan #ThereForME #ME #mecfs #FundThePlan

Thanks to @StuOnSport for reaching out and doing this piece and helping us raise awareness amongst a new demographic. I'd always hoped to feature in @tri247 one day for my sporting exploits, not for my bad health. #ThereForME #mecfs #millionsmissing @actionforme @ThereForME_UK
"It still doesn’t feel real that I have such a debilitating illness that has been so grossly ignored by the medical world." The @james_walton96 story... tri247.com/triathlon-news…
An incredible feat of endurance yesterday from Dillon, completing the marathon swim in 19hrs, all in aid of @MEResearchUK 💪🏊 Plenty of awareness raised for the ME community. One unexpected benefit of this awful disease is seeing how deeply kind some people are 💙 #ME #MECFS


Dillon is almost finished his marathon swim. Yes, he's swimming 42km today for @MEResearchUK! That's 18hrs of swimming. This isn't getting the coverage it deserves. Does anyone in the ME community have any contacts in the MSM who could help us get more coverage?? #ME #MECFS
Very lucky to have my friend Dillon swimming a marathon for ME this month. I'm not sure the average person grasps how insane this is! He's looking at about 18hrs+ of swimming. Absolutely insane. Please help us to share this story and fundraiser!

I’m so delighted that all 72 LibDem MPs signed this letter to @wesstreeting @AshleyDalton_MP asking the govt to back the ME/CFS Delivery Plan with the resources it deserves. May this be a huge encouragement to the ME community and the start of meaningful change. #WorldMEDay
Im very lucky to have such great people in my corner ♥️ My friend Dillon heard my ME story and decided he's going to swim a marathon to raise funds for @MEResearchUK. Most people struggle to run a marathon and he's swimming one! You can donate here shorturl.at/gufLj #ME

Yesterday, 40 labour MPs voiced concerns over their parties inheritance tax plan for farmers. It's clear there are still some good politicians left. The real question now is how do we get them on board to properly support the ME action plan? #thereforme #MECFS #ME #LongCovid
