Action for M.E. Walk with M.E. 2019

[Little Bluestem]

How do they know that the person actually did the walking. If I had some money, I could sign up, claim I did the walking, send them the money, and it would be doubled.

I thought I remembered it in connection with Invest in ME:
http://ldifme.org/2019/01/09/walk-for-me-2019/ This started several years ago, for friends and family of people with ME to do sponsored walks.
@Graham has your family been involved with this?

Yes, my son, and two friends have been running it for several years now. It tends to get communities of relatives and friends of local ME folk involved, and has raised around £125,000 so far.

I forgot to point out that it is called "Walk For ME", which puts the emphasis in the proper place.

Well AFME couldn’t use the same wording otherwise people would think they’re piggy backing on others ideas

 

[Graham]

Piggy-back For ME? I don't see that taking off.

Oh I don't know ... there have been rather a lot of flying pigs around these last few years .
