Fionula has decided to run the Windsor half marathon on behalf of FMA UK. She says she is "doing this for a lady called Lorraine Phipps" who is a member of the FMA UK forum. She recognises that FMA UK is entirely run by volunteers and that FMA UK needs this money in order to continue raising awareness of fibromyalgia.
The half marathon takes place on Sunday 26th September and we wish Fionula all the best on the day. Her Justgiving page can be found here and all are welcome to donate. There is also some more information on the forum which can be found here.
Money raised from this event will help FMA UK to continue to send out information packs to first enquirers including the newly diagnosed, as well as help our office and allow services such as the website and the helplines to continue to run and help people with fibromyalgia. All donations are gratefully received.

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.
