Colin Henderson is one of our many amazing fundraisers who challenge themselves and do fantastic work to help the charity. Colin, having battled with pancreatic cancer decided to embark upon a 400km cycle around Northern Ireland, managing to complete it over 3 days – something we find incredible!
Colin raised over £9,000 and decided to split it between 2 pancreatic cancer charities and ourselves – his daughter has fibromyalgia.
We think Colin did an amazing job, and are extremely grateful and appreciative to him for doing this.

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.
