Mike's EU Marathons

As we didn't have a thread for Mike's efforts, thought I'd start one.

Has anyone invited Mike here ?
I met Mike at iime last year, great guy.

 

I've just sent him a message about this thread.

 

Thanks Andy. And of course, thanks to Mike too. It's really been a marathon of marathons, and it's really impressive to see how this campaign has also been used to successfully generate decent media coverage too. Great work!

 

For the German speaking folks here (I know at least 2 ), I wrote a tiny article about Mike that was published yesterday in the monthly ME/CFS update of The German Association: https://www.mecfs.de/mecfs-update-112017/

Edit: I also used a quote from Anil's article that I liked: "Mike Harley is running for our lives".

 

@Joh , it would be great if you could create a thread for the monthly update, assuming there isn't one already.

ha beat me to it Andy, cheers!

 

Welcome to the forum Mike, and thanks for all your work.

 

Hello @Mike Harley - great to see you here!
In case I haven’t told you - I think what you have done and are doing for ME awareness is totally amazing.

 

My interview with Mike about his run in Amsterdam and his interview with us and his blog about meeting me.

Welcome to the forum Anil

 

Thanks man. Was following it a bit already. Good idea to open a thread about speedy Mike.

 

Welcome to the forum, @Mike Harley and @Grigor , it's great to see you here.

Thank you so much both of you for bringing awareness. So amazing and heartwarming!

 

Just a quick one to say thanks for supporting me this year everyone.

I hope you were able to have pleasant pain-free Christmasses and hope that 2018 is a better year.

Looking forward to making more friends next year and hopefully adding to the £9.6K we have for Invest In ME's biomedical research projects.

Best wishes with your recovery from injury.

 

Happy New Year @Mike Harley ! I hope you recover soon. Thank you for such a huge effort on our behalf.

 

Do take care of yourself. Don't run if you are not up to it. We all know what happens when you push yourself more than you should.

 

Hi all

Here is my interview with the Malta ME, CFS and Fibromyalgia Alliance about life for patients there.

You can find their facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/me.cfs.fm.AllianceMalta/

I'll be working with them over the next few weeks before the Marathon (Feb 25th) to hopefully raise awareness for ME in the media.

Cheers

Mike

 

I know that you're already happily married, otherwise I'd propose now! Thanks for all your advocacy work!
