Some may not have noticed but Invest in ME Research has its very own film star supporting the cause. Jon Campling is an actor, known to many Harry Potter fans as the 'Trainstopping Deatheater'. He wrote the introduction to the book about ME - Science, Politics …….and ME - written by Dr Ian Gibson and Elaine Sherriffs. Jon is married to Ali, also an actor – an actor-singer-dancer. Ali was diagnosed with ME after 2 years of increasingly debilitating symptoms. Like many, Ali was prescribed 18 months of CBT and advised to use PACING techniques – but realised that there was little real understanding of this illness and no ongoing care. So Jon and Ali have found themselves dealing with the same problems as all people with ME have to deal w ith. Jon has been a staunch support of Invest in ME Research and constantly uses his fame to raise awareness and valuable funds for research. Jon could have just hidden this away and not raised the issue. He didn’t. He uses immense time for fundraising for ME earning the admiration and thanks from so many families where ME has struck. Jon’s fundraising page is here - Page 44 of 56 Invest in ME Research (Charity Nr. https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/walktall4me Invest in ME research (Charity Nr. 1153730) www.investinme.org
