Tribute to Mag Friel and fundraising page

Our lovely friend Mag Friel, who had severe M.E. for 25 years, ended her life on 31 December 2017. We have seen too many notices about M.E.-related deaths & suicides. These are not ‘tragic’ losses, they are shameful! I have written a tribute and rallying cry, which you can read on M.E. Association's website

Mag asked mourners to make donations in her memory to the 25% M.E. Group (instead of sending flowers to the funeral service). Izzy Bennett has set up a fundraising page

Maybe you can contribute?
