Well done to My Blackpool Group. Yesterday I was invited to Blackpool
Town Hall, I met the Mayor Councillor Mary Smith and the Mayoress Julia
Massey. Local MP Joan Humble came and presented the group with a cheque
for £150.00. It was an informal gathering in wonderful surroundings and
I really enjoyed meeting all the committee, members and visitors who
supported the Awareness Day.
We all know what hard work raising both Awareness and money but this is an excellent team who made me feel very welcome. The sun shone and there were plenty of yellow and black ribbons in Blackpool. These sorts of events make my job worthwhile.
Thanks as always to my husband Chris for taking me.

If your Health Care Professional needs some education in fibromyalgia you can request that an FMA UK Health Professionals Pack is sent out to them. All we need is the name of the Health CareProfessional and the address of their practice. We will then send a pack to their surgery addressed from us to them.
You can request a medical pack using this form.
You can find a Support Group near you by contacting the Regional Coordinator for your area. If there does not happen to be a support group near you then maybe you can join with some other members and set one up. Support groups provide a social benefit as well as the opportunity to share tips on coping with fibro. They come in all shapes and sizes and we are often told how they have helped people.
