Kim Hamilton has persuaded her husband and friends to take part in an abseil from the Europa Hotel in Belfast. “The lack of support for fibromyalgia angers me greatly and if I don’t raise a fortune, I think the awareness is very important to our cause.” Donations for this daunting challenge can be made through everyclick at www.everyclick.com/kimmie.
If you are in the Belfast area on the 17th September why not go along and give Kim and her family and friends your support.

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.
