We (Sharon Price and Gareth Williams), aka Team Shareth, are taking on the challenge of doing a Sponsored Swim of 5 miles between us (not all in one day!) in aid of the Welsh Association of ME and CFS Support (WAMES).

I (Sharon) have volunteered with this charity for many years and greatly valued the support it gave me during 20 years of chronic ME. Now with my symptoms currently in remission, I want to help those with this unbearable illness.

Without much-needed funds, WAMES will struggle to continue all its important work. This is why we ask you to sponsor Team Shareth as we endeavour to swim 5 miles. (Two years ago I could only swim 100m!) Any amount, large or small, would be greatly appreciated and make a massive difference. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

WAMES is a charity which gives a national voice to people with ME and CFS in Wales, their carers and families, in order to improve services, access to services, awareness and support.

WAMES’ vision is for a Wales where adults and children with ME and CFS and their carers are taken seriously and treated with respect, where diagnosis, treatment and services are available without a battle.
