Well done to Alex Bantick who took part in a Tough Mudder event on Sunday 13th July and for anyone who knows him well will know that this was big thing for as he says, ”Basically I am a sloth.”
But the main reason he did this was to raise awareness of Fibromyalgia. This is something that his girlfriend has been suffering with for the last 2 years. She puts on a very brave face 24/7 and hides it well, but I know deep down she is hurting.

If your Health Care Professional needs some education in fibromyalgia you can request that an FMA UK Health Professionals Pack is sent out to them. All we need is the name of the Health CareProfessional and the address of their practice. We will then send a pack to their surgery addressed from us to them.
You can request a medical pack using this form.
You can find a Support Group near you by contacting the Regional Coordinator for your area. If there does not happen to be a support group near you then maybe you can join with some other members and set one up. Support groups provide a social benefit as well as the opportunity to share tips on coping with fibro. They come in all shapes and sizes and we are often told how they have helped people.
