We are all familiar with the enthusiasm and determination that we will achieve our resolutions ... but a few months down the line and often they are completely forgotten about.
Maybe you planned on losing some weight? Doing a bit more exercise? Starting a new hobby?
Do you need an extra incentive to keep your resolution up, or to kick-start it into life?
How about turning one of them into a sponsored event? As well as improving your life you can help improve support for thousands of others.
If your aim is to stop doing something get sponsorship for each day you stop. If it is to do something like exercising or a new hobby this could also be sponsored per day or week. You might have to appoint a mentor to prove it though! Even at a penny a day, over the year it will add up.
A collecting tin (available from FMA UK office) can be used at work or home or people can pay a regular monthly amount on JustGiving (www.justgiving.com)for larger amounts.
We can also feature your challenge on this website and you could send us regular updates for the website and our facebook page.
If you wish to do an event please contact Head Office for more information.

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.
