I'm running the Dunedin Marathon to raise research funds for chronic fatigue syndrome

Dunedin, Otago

I'm running the 2023 Dunedin Marathon, raising awareness and research funds for myalgic encephalomyelitis, or chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). The silent epidemic is about to get a lot louder as many cases of chronic fatigue emerge from the hundreds of thousands of kiwis who contracted COVID-19. The proceeds of this fundraiser will go towards the research of Emeritus Professor Warren Tate as he works to understand the mechanisms underlying ME/CFS.

❤️❤️❤️And it's done. It's taken a good 36 hours to process the whirlwind of emotions and the one that keeps coming out on top... gratitude. For my family and friends who have put up with my nonsense, for my lovely training buddy Jo who literally held me up at the end, for the local businesses and plogging enthusiasts who joined my cleanup efforts, for all of you who followed along and donated your hard earned money to this fundraiser, and finally, to ANZMES and Professor Tate for supporting those folks living with ME/CFS who need their help ❤️❤️❤️
