Alison Yates is taking part in the British Gas Great North Swim on 17th June. The peace and tranquillity of Lake Windermere will be disturbed when the 10,000 participants arrive for this annual event over the 3 days.
Alison decided to enter this to raise awareness of fibromyalgia because her Mum has had fibromyalgia for a number of years. She is in training for the 2 mile swim and is determined to complete the course in the required time of 1hour 45minutes.
We wish Alison the best of luck with her swim and thank her for supporting FMA UK. If you would like to sponsor Alison please go to www.justgiving.com/Alison-Yates1

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.
