Here Come The Boys (not for ME tho’

[Guest guest]

Hi –

Permission to Repost

Here Come

The Boys (not for ME tho’)

Yes the

celebs are out in force again, 8:00 pm on ITV1 some of the worlds best loved

male artists getting

together to perform to raise awareness of testicular cancer. All credit to them

and to the organisations

that have got together to ask them, at least they have got it right, and have

representatives at the event.

So why are such things happening for other illnesses and not for ME?

Is it a question of leadership, knowledge or some other such talent which sadly

appears to be lacking in the ME world? We have the organisations, we have the

celeb patrons and supporters, or are they just grinning faces on a newsletter

page, or a website.

I once asked Jill Moss if after appearing on the front cover of the

AYME newsletter Ainsley Harriot might take the case on board and for ME

Awareness

week actually mention it on his show with details of who to contact for help,

he and the competitor could have also worn blue ribbons. As I expected, he

didn’t, all Jill Moss could

say was “they are busy, and their time is valuable” not to busy to smile for

the cameras tho’.

Yeah, if

other illness charities can do it why can’t ours? Apathy, lack of leadership,

no idea whatsoever? Answers on a postage stamp please. Surely there are some

willing even if it just means being seen of men to sit at the top table.
