Helen Milstein
Cold Water Swimming 2010 |
|
Yes folks, i'm doing it again! Swimming at least twice a week at Tooting Bec Lido: last year they had to move the ice for us to get in.
It's all to raise money for bio-medical research into ME/CFS, to help the many sufferers(including our daughter) for whom ,at present,there's no treatment.
As I go in & feel my immune system getting a boost, it reminds me of them & the many problems they face.
Please give generously, as there's NO GOVERNMENT FUNDING. thank you.

My Sister Sophia - Before
ME
Roisin Mirza, Sophia Mirza's
sister, has created this You Tube film of Sophia before she became ill from ME.
Roisin has brought together some video
which she found of Sophia.
The film shows
something of Sophia when she was well and it will give people an
idea of what she was like.

One and Another - The
Fourth Plinth London, UK
Two events in the Fourth Plinth organised by
Antony Gormley. The Fourth Plinth is
the name given to the empty plinth in the north-west corner of Trafalgar Square
in London. It was originally designed by Sir Charles Barry and built in 1841 to
display an equestrian statue. There were not enough funds available at the time
to create a statue and so the plinth was sometimes referred to as the 'empty
plinth'. |

London to Land's - by BIKE!
"Great fun - apart from Dartmoor, which given the 'severe weather
warning' wasn't the best fun..." |
Rob, Dom and Si cycled from London to Lands End, Kernow to
support Invest in ME.
The distance was 300 miles from London beginning on Sunday
26th July and arriving in Lands End by Saturday 1st August.
All money raised will go to Invest in ME, a charity that aims to raise
awareness and recognition of the disease, funding research that will bring
eventual diagnosis and treatment.
A friend of Dom's from school has ME and this trip was to help
her and people in similar situations.
Thanks for supporting us...
