How you can help…..

ME North East welcome fundraising initiatives from members and their families. We have had many successful events planned and hosted by our members that have raised funds for us whilst at the same time giving lots of pleasure and fun to many people.

If you have any ideas that you would like to share, if you want some help in getting something off the ground – get in touch, we would love to hear from you.

A recent joint venture with AYME (Association of Young People with ME) involved a splendid day out walking around Derwentwater Lake. There were 45 walkers in all and everyone enjoyed the experience of the walk and meeting new people. We raised lots of money (still coming in…) to share between our two charities.

2004 was a first for us to have a number of people in the BUPA Great North Run. We secured 25 places for ME North East and every runner has raised lots of funds for us. It was a superb day – a great atmosphere for both runners and spectators alike. We are already taking names for next year – the 25th Anniversary – if you are interested, give us a call!
