Fibromyalgia on the Plinth

UPDATE: Congratulations to Helen and her supporters for raising awareness by applying for this place.  It is wonderful that she has worked so hard and put so much effort into this project.  We are sure there are many more people that will l now have heard of fibromyalgia as a result of this. Well done Helen. To view Helen on the plinth click here.

Fibromyalgia has a slot on the Trafalgar Plinth on Wednesday 19th August. Helen Butcher applied and was very surprised to get the opportunity to take part. For the 2400 places there has been over 31,000 applicants. Helen plans to "create 'A Statue's Eye View', a photographic gallery of an hour in the life of a statue -to raise awareness of Fibromyalgia."

Helen will take to the plinth between 5 and 6 pm, which should mean that there are a lot of people to see her. There is also a Justgiving page on which you can donate, and her webpage has some more information.
