Sharon Price invites you to join her in raising funds for WAMES

Please help me raise funds for WAMES

On 29th April 2011, I will have had ME for 20 years. (Yep, a Bank Holiday has been declared in my honour!) I want to do something positive to mark the occasion. I am volunteering with the Welsh Association of ME & CFS Support (WAMES) and am supporting their campaign for ME Awareness week 2011 to wear something blue on May 12th, which is International ME Awareness day. Please join me in:

• Wearing an item of blue clothing such as a tie, cravat, scarf, blouse, skirt or other item of clothing to help raise awareness of ME.
• wear a Blue Ribbon (contact BRAME, Sharon or Jan if you don’t have one)
• ask family members, friends and colleagues to join you wearing blue ribbons
• Tell people why you are wearing blue and what the blue ribbons represent

Please would you be kind enough to not only wear blue on May 12th, but also to pay for the privilege and make a donation to WAMES? WAMES is a voluntary organisation which gives a national voice to people with ME & CFS in Wales, campaigning and raising awareness on our behalf.

If you would like to contribute, please send a cheque payable to:

Sharon Price 10, Hill Crest, Langland, Swansea, SA3 4PW

Or to the WAMES treasurer.

When I have received all your donations, I will send one (hopefully big) cheque to WAMES with the total donated. I am aiming to raise £400. (£20 for each year I’ve had ME). Apologies for fundraising again, but I haven’t done so since 2009!

Hopefully in 20 years’ time, the world for people with ME will be a very different place and people will no longer have to go through the intolerable pain and suffering I have.

THANK YOU so very much in anticipation of your help and support.

Love Sharon. xx
