Beth runs the Great North Run 2024
We're thrilled that Beth has chosen to run for our charity in the Great North Run on Sunday, 8th September 2024! Join us as we share our newest member of Team Fibro's fundraising journey.
"I am running the Great North Run 2024 in aid of Fibromyalgia Action UK. I saw the place for this through a friend of my mum's on Facebook. She is living with fibromyalgia and I am honoured to be able to run this and fundraise to help find a cure or treatment for fibromyalgia.
Since fundraising for this, I have come to realise that many people I know live with this condition and are affected by it daily. With this condition affecting people that I know Fibromyalgia Action UK has become an important charity to me as I want to be able to help those close to me.
I enjoy running and have wanted to take part in the Great North Run for a while, and now having the opportunity to do it whilst raising money for charity has been an amazing experience.
Good luck to anyone else running on Sunday, have fun and see you there !!! - Beth"

If your Health Care Professional needs some education in fibromyalgia you can request that an FMA UK Health Professionals Pack is sent out to them. All we need is the name of the Health CareProfessional and the address of their practice. We will then send a pack to their surgery addressed from us to them.
You can request a medical pack using this form.
You can find a Support Group near you by contacting the Regional Coordinator for your area. If there does not happen to be a support group near you then maybe you can join with some other members and set one up. Support groups provide a social benefit as well as the opportunity to share tips on coping with fibro. They come in all shapes and sizes and we are often told how they have helped people.
