“Thank you to everyone who donated and took the time to talk to us. Hopefully we have helped raise awareness of this debilitating medical condition and maybe helped some sufferers know they are not on their own.”

The Horsham Support group is run by volunteers, many of whom suffer from Fibromyalgia. For more information email [email protected] or visit www.fmauk.org
