Mid Sussex ME charity reMEmber has announced its newest patron alongside important news about the after-effects of Covid-19 and new funding for a study into the causes of ME.
Margaret, the countess of Mar, has replaced Sir Nicholas Soames, former MP for Mid Sussex, as the patron of reMEmber.
reMEmber is a charity for people with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), or myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), and was founded by Janice Kent in 1999.
Janice, who lives in Hurstpierpoint, has CFS/ME, and had discovered there was no service south of London for people with this illness at the time of setting up the charity.
