A lot of people know that my best friend has had Fibromyalgia for the best part of 20 years now, and she faces a constant, daily battle with this debilitating condition. I am selling a selection of my old books and DVDs via Amazon, Ebay and Facebook to raise funds for Fibromyalgia Association UK, but I am aware that a fair number of people will have no interest in anything that I'm selling. Therefore, I've set up a page on Just Giving to enable those people, if they wish, to help me by making any donation they feel able to do so.
You can click on the link below, or the one at the right hand of the page. Any donation, large or small, is most welcome; and from the bottom of my heart, thank you for your kindness!
