first donation of £1200 to MERUK in October, 2006.

Dr Neil Abbot of ME Research UK: "The Vegepa for ME Scheme, initiated and organized by Lynne, has now been running for 6 months and has just sent in £1200 for our research funds.

The Scheme, through which every box of Vegepa sold raises 50p for research into the illness, now has Members across the UK, throughout Europe and as far away as Australia.

Lynne, a full-time Carer of her 24 year old daughter Daliany, who helped come up with the idea, explains: "Given my connection with ME, and our positive experience of this supplement, I thought I'd develop a scheme that would bring these products to PWME at a greatly reduced cost, while helping research into ME at the same time. I am delighted with The Scheme's success in such a short period of time, and if people might benefit symptomatically then so much the better!"

Evidence on the specific efficacy of a whole range of supplements (and therapeutic interventions) for the symptoms of ME/CFS is seriously lacking - and this is also true for omega supplements.

Lynne's personal donation from her scheme is a very welcome one, and will help us to plan and fund our portfolio of research studies." Sept. 2006
