Fibromyalgia Association UK [DATE]

Hello [NAME],

It has be a while since the last newsletter in June and there has been much to report but not the time or the energy to do so unfortunately :( You can read about some of the events that have been happening in the recent issues of Fibro Focus.

Septempber's cover girl, Katie-Rose Goodings, is modelling the new fibro dotty specs which her family are using to raise awareness of the Swindon FM group... Homeopathist, Jackie Raw, Tells us about how homoeopathy can help FM... and Bridie Nelson offers tips on how to keep motivated...

We also found out about setting up a support group for the first time and how to do this on a shoestring budget with two groups sharing their experience.

You can also read extracts from some of the recent website articles across the page.

Newsletter Volunteer
However can I ask if there is anyone out there that would like to help with this email newsletter so that we can make it more regular and improve it.

Good communication skills are essential and as long as you know how to use a word processor you should be ok with the technical side of things. Please get in touch with me if you are interested.

Sample copy of Fibro Focus

It was intended to have a sample copy of the Fibromyalgia magazine up on the website for some time but now its here. You can access it on the front page or here.

If you would like to subscribe to Fibro Focus after reading this then please go to the magazine page or get in touch with the office.

Remember support groups can get reduced pricing on the magazine when they purchase 4 or more copies.

If you have any thoughts on the newsletter please get in touch.

Walking the London Loop

Pam Stewart completed her epic walk around London yesterday in aid of FMA UK and to raise awareness. I am sure that a report of her journey will follow but I would like to offer my congratulations on completing the journey. You can read more about the walk on the previous article below.

Pam Stewart, chair of Fibromyalgia Association UK (FMA UK), london-loop-publicityx200 has recently moved back to Whitton and on one of her Sunday walks noticed the London Loop symbol in Crane Park. She found the details on the website and gave herself the challenge of walking the whole of this interconnection of 150 miles of pathways on consecutive days to raise awareness of fibromyalgia.

Pam's husband had fibromyalgia for many years and found first of all that it took years to get a diagnosis and then treatment was not very effective. Information and support were not readily available and many professionals did not even believe it existed.

North Pole Challenge

There's always someone typical day in the artic willing to go that extra mile, but we don't think this will be beaten. In April 2012 Team AWNTY (Are We Nearly There Yet) 2012. will be racing to the Magnetic North Pole.

We are delighted that we have been chosen as one of the charities they are supporting and you will see they have decided to use the duck as their mascot. They are planning many ducky events and we look forward to keeping you all up to date with these.

Thank you for your support and the fabulous opportunity to raise awareness of fibromyalgia throughout the world. The following is taken from Team Awnty website. Arctic exploration is regarded as one of the most arduous tests of physical and mental endurance in the world with temperatures plummeting as low as -50°c.
