FMA UK receives support from GirlRacers

FMA UK is delighted to announce that girlracers have decided to support us and help us raise awareness of fibromyalgia.  Their MD, Juli McIlmail, has been diagnosed with fibromyalgia so knows first hand the limitations this causes.  “Girlracer is a fast paced company in the competitive motorsport environment where women thrive on the race track, pushing their bodies, physical strength and determination to the limits. The Girlracer Group of companies is run by a very slow paced woman who pushes her body, physical strength and determination to its limits in a very different way. My racers do it to win, I do it to live.”

I met with Julie and racing driver Jayne Snipe to talk about this exciting development and was invited to their stand at the Retro exhibition at the National Agricultural Centre, Stoneleigh.  Although this event attracts far more males than females we met two women with fibromyalgia and one who treats several others through reiki.

There are many ideas in the pipeline for the two organisations to collaborate on and we will be keeping you updated as these are finalised.  Meanwhile please visit the girlracer websites Girl Racer and Girlracer Motorsport Academy to see what they promote.This is a wonderful opportunity to promote fibromyalgia awareness and Julie and Jayne’s determination and drive will certainly help us to achieve this.
