Spare a Thought for ME this Christmas

 

There is a light-hearted theme to this winter page but it is here also to ask for a thought to be spared whenever giving presents - see Ways to Help This Christmas (below). As we look ahead let's keep the hope that the New Year will bring promising news for all ME sufferers and their carers/parents. Let's hope that we are on the road to getting the funding for biomedical research which is the only way a cure is going to be found for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis.

If the snow flakes annoy you then we apologise. They are transitory - something we hope and believe will be the case for ME in the future. Happy Christmas from all at Invest in ME.

Ways to Help this Christmas

Recent research has shown that £1.2 BILLION (no misquote - one point two BILLION pounds) is wasted each Christmas on unwanted presents. Apparently people spend, on average, £33 each by panic buying last-minute gifts.

So here's a couple of ideas to avoid the waste and put that money to a good cause.

Why not give a present to ME this Christmas? There are many ways possible - some suggestions are made below.
