“When I decided FMA UK should buy places in the Asics British10k run in London little did I realise it would be me making up the numbers! I have never run any long distance race before but couldn't let the opportunity to raise awareness and funds go to waste. Training has been hard but is going well and I ran 10k last Saturday, so I now know I can do this.
If I can make the effort to go training 3 times a week, please just consider what you can do to help us support those with fibromyalgia get better recognition and treatment.”

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.
