Blue Sunday ~ A tea party for M.E

Anna's servere M.E struck hard and fast one week she was working the next she couldn't drive,walk and struggled to string a sentence together. 

When all other tests came back clear she was diagnosed with M.E as a last resort. 

Inspired by a virtual party , she decided to set up a tea party for M.E. Creating a platform to fundraise through as she was unable to attend events. 

Along with her family Anna held her first tea party, during M.E. awareness week in May 2013. inviting a handful of family and friends to join for tea and cake while donating the price they would pay in a cafe. 

The world's M.E. community uploaded photos on social media whilst donating. 

This is no easy task and starting months in advance gives Anna the energy to host her own event and the yearly virtual one. 

Since 2013 A tea party for M.E has raised a staggering £19,000 pounds for vital research. 

Medical professionals have had their thoughts on M.E changed after attending an event which gives much hope for the understanding of this dreadful condition.
