3 years since completing a marathon race in all 27 EU nations for @investinmeresearch.bsky.social £42k raised at the time. Gone on to run in another 5 new countries since then, adding £9k. It was a life changing experience. Am still here representing my ME pals until we get a cure.

Happy Christmas everyone 🎅 Got out for a 4 miler earlier, now looking forward to stuffing my face. Thoughts as ever with people who find today and every day a struggle. I hope tomorrow's crash isn't too awful.

Medals are out of the loft and back on the hanger. Some of them are in bad shape. Any recommendations on a decent product to clean them up?

Thanks for following if you don't know me. I've just passed the 10 year anniversary of when I began running marathons for ME research. I'm aiming to raise funds for biomedical projects whilst connecting and highlighting the stories of people with ME that I meet 🇨🇿🇫🇮🇮🇪🇬🇷🇱🇺🇸🇪🇵🇱🇧🇪🇫🇷🇪🇸🇱🇹🇲🇹🇪🇪🇸🇰🇳🇱🇸🇮🇨🇾🇱🇻🇭🇺🇷🇴🇵🇹🇩🇪🇭🇷🇮🇹🇦🇹🇬🇷🇧🇬🇳🇴🇱🇮🇨🇭🇷🇸🇲🇪
