The Dress For ME Challenge!

Posted on by

By Jen Govey

I’m raising money for Invest in ME Research with The #DressForME Challenge!
I hope you will join me and we have a little fun on the way!

The Challenge:

* Dress in something extraordinary. Do something ordinary.
* Take a photo, post it on social media such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram with the hashtag
#DressForME and a link to this fundraising page: www.justgiving.com/fundraising/dressforme
* Nominate 3 friends to join in!
* Donate here and let me know what you did! 😜

Thank you so much for your time, generosity and sense of fun. This will make a huge difference to the lives of those living with ME, plus I will love you forever! 😍

I’ll be joining in myself of course as this is for my favourite charity and I love fancy dress! I came up with the idea as people with ME can often find it a struggle just to dress and do basic things healthy people take for granted. I am just coming out of a severe patch and just wanting to make a difference as there is no real treatment for severe and moderate patients and very little support. Please go and check out the IiME website to see the great work they are doing to change things.

Have fun! 🙂

P.s. You don’t have to dress up to donate!

P.p.s. You can have a #DressforME day at work or anywhere you fancy if you don’t want to do it alone!

July FUNdraising tips 

Posted on by

“Follow that bear”, raise a bit of bling with your summer “Cordon Blue”, learn how to raise money with TopCashBack and discover the all new superbear from The little embroidery studio this July.

Follow the antics of our volunteer IiMER bear as he works hard to raise funds for research into ME. Pizza-loving, hardworking, and all-round awesome bear! (You may already be acquainted with him from his fundraising totals updates pics).

Follow him on instagram or twitter

He’s sure to keep you bearly amused!

Add a touch of Cordon blue to your picnics, BBQs and other outdoor dinner functions this summer. Invite friends round, dress up as smurfs, shake up some blue cocktails, add a touch of blue seasoning to the food and most importantly, enjoy! Tell friends about IiMER’s vital work and ask for donations! Visit Cordon Blue for ME on Facebook for inspiration, ideas and banter!

Bears are going barmy for IiMER ATM! The little embroidery studio have created a brand new superbear and they’re donating ALL the proceeds from each bear sold, to a charity very close to their hearts – Invest in ME. That’s a fab £25 donation for each bear sold!!!

Just to prove to Paul he hasn’t been forgotten- TopCashback.co.uk is the UK’s most generous cashback website and is recommended by Martin Lewis of MoneySavingExpert. Sign-up via our Tell-a-Friend link and TopCashback will make an extra donation to Invest in ME via Let’s Do It for ME co-founder Paul Kayes. You then get to choose whether to receive all of the money in your account yourself or opt to donate all, or a percentage of it. There is also a mobile app – learn more and download the app here. Start raising money now by signing-up. There will be a banner stating you have been referred by ‘Paulk22’.

Remember the “One day, one pound” scheme. Unfortunately only donations from £2 can be made via this link but you can donate via justTextgiving by texting APFR99 £1 to 70070 (UK). Every pound helps!
