Another interview in from Serbia. So similar to everywhere else in Europe. In many ways worse as ME is not even recognised as an illness there. Good to hear that there is a clued-up doctor over there and I know that their ME Association is pro-active within the European ME Alliance. I'll be...

Thanks so much for this, really appreciate the kind words. I'm happy to be involved and helping in whatever small way I can. Yes hopefully get that last £800 in to reach £50K. Will definitely try and find a way to celebrate that somehow!

I've managed to interview 1 person so far in Serbia with ME. Hoping to add more shortly. SERBIA - Mike's EU Marathons (mikeseumarathons.eu)

Quick update from me I'm training hard for my 31st country marathon for Invest In ME. I'm running this year in Serbia (April 28) and Albania (Oct 20) For Serbia, I'm going to be meeting Dijana and the ME Association there, hopefully with some media coverage to help raise the profile of ME...

I can see that ME/CFS Treffpunkt Österreich facebook group shared the petition on Sept 26th. I don't think I know of the associations in Austria unfortunately. Did you hear back from Gracemarie or Nicole at Verein ME CFS Schweiz?

I think I have contacts in Austria, let me check.

yep will do for sure.

Fly out to Zurich next Friday to run Lucerne/Swiss City Marathon for people with ME there. I've managed to interview 1 ME patient there so far. Trying to reach some media but it's proving tough so I'm not sure how much good I'm doing really but I'll give the race everything I've got...

Thanks for the q. I pick a race/country generally. But on occasion if enough people want me to come then I try and get there! My rough plan at the moment is to keep on trying to get to new countries but I'll soon run out in Europe so am looking at races that maybe look a bit unusual (and not...

I'm going to be meeting with Nicole Spillmann from ME CFS Verein Schweiz in Lucerne on race day (Oct 29th). Gracemarie and Nicole are helping me to find Swiss ME patients to interview and then we'll approach local media there to see if we can raise awareness. They've also very kindly offered...

Thanks for the nudge, oddly I've just shared it on facebook and then come on here. Will share on Twitter/X shortly, though I don't use it much anymore (Elon Musk etc)

Thanks for the kind words, I'm over here and update every now and again https://www.s4me.info/threads/mikes-eu-marathons.1244/page-11#post-490181

Thanks Ash, that means a lot to read that. It's very frustrating that ME attracts so few 'well people' who want to fundraise for research. I also can't help but feel that I would have raised more like £100K and not £50K had the illness been more understood and prominent in the public...

Nice little blog interview here (sorry I know you've heard it all before many times!) https://encephalogirl.substack.com/p/an-ally-for-the-long-run-literally
