ME Awareness Week 2024 (8 to 14 May)

Mark Harper, Chair of our group, standing in a garden next to a very large poster (2m by 1m) due to be displayed on his car. The poster says 'Hundreds of thousands of lives destroyed, Long Covid and ME/CFS' No Treatments, No cure - fund research now!' and links to this website).
Mark Harper preparing the billboard for his car

We are going to be displaying a mobile billboard around Cambridge on top of Mark Harper (our Chair)’s car. Suggestions for routes to follow will be welcome! Get in touch with suggestions!

We also plan to hold a static demo!

where and when?

  • 12 midday on Wednesday 15th May
  • Opposite the Keith Peters building, on the patch of lawn behind the multi-story carpark on Adrian Way
  • Postcode is CB2 0XY

We’d love it if you could come along, but as always, put your health first and don’t drive yourself into PEM (post-exertional malaise – link goes to video on youtube) to do it.

Letter hand in and ‘shoe demo’

We will display the billboard and hold a shoe demo (to represent people sick and absent from their own lives) for those who can’t be there. If you’d like to participate remotely, send me your name and how many years you’ve been ill – I have some old shoes I can put them with – even better, let me have some old shoes too!

We will be handing in a letter to the director of the MRC mitochondrial research unit in the Keith Peters building, calling for more research. We’re hoping the media will attend.

Small Demo – Parker’s Piece Monday

We also plan to hold a mini-demo on Monday 13th May 2024, on Parker’s Piece, again at 12 midday. Again, we’d love to see you there, but put your health first!
