Stephen Williams' wife Amanda suffers with the debilitating condition fibromyalgia
A devoted Chester husband is planning a sponsored cycle ride from Exmouth to Chester to raise funds to tackle fibromyalgia, a condition from which his wife suffers.
“To support this charity, me and some of Amanda’s cousins - Emma White, Ben White, Hannah Bown - are doing a long distance cycle from Exmouth to Chester, that’s 220 to 250 miles depending on how bad our map readings skills are or how big the hills are!” said Stephen.
“We are asking for donations to this worthy charity - Fibromyalgia Action UK. The ride will be self funded so all your donations will go to the charity. Your donations will, of course, be great motivation when we are struggling with the training and on the ride itself.To read full article please click here

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.
