So many things I don't like about this article but thought I would leave it up to Australian advocates to pick up on.

Running to raise awareness
Shepparton chronic fatigue sufferers have joined forces and will take part in a weekly parkrun event ahead of a national awareness day next month.
The Shepparton Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia support group will join the weekly Shepparton Parkrun in the run-up to next month’s National Fibromyalgia Awareness Day.
Shepparton’s Georgie Dodson knows all to well the effects chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia can have on a person’s life.
‘‘Chronic fatigue syndrome is an illness that affects a person’s nervous system and, unfortunately, fibromyalgia is likely to follow bringing down muscle stiffness and pain. Some days you just can’t make it to everyday activities,’’ Mrs Dodson said.
During the past two months, Mrs Dodson has been helping friend and fellow chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia sufferer Sharleen Bachelor participate in weekly parkruns on Saturday mornings."

What a mess! So many areas where we are achieving progress, and then we get this rubbish. Always more difficult when it’s pwME/CFS themselves who are saying it.
