Severe M.E. Day is on August 8th, and is a day of awareness and visibility for those people living with severe Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.). It is also a time to remember those who have lost their lives.
Severe M.E. Day is also referred to as ‘Severe M.E. Awareness Day’.
Severe M.E. Day was established by the
25% M.E. Group, a charity in Scotland (UK). They chose the 8th of August because it is the birth date of the late Sophia Mirza (1973 – 2005).
