Calender Men

So this is where some of the superheroes of M.E. are - those men who decided to be brave enough to launch their own calender to stand up and be counted that men get M.E. too, while raising awareness and funds to help establish the first UK centre for biomedical research and treatment for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E. aka CFS) and giving us a chuckle or two along the way.

There are around 250,000 sufferers of M.E. in the UK with about 25% classified as severely affected, ie bed/house-bound. Each of our calender men is a member of a family who are also affected by his having M.E. This illness can have a devastating effect on someone's life, and have a negative effect on their relationship with their family and friends.
