5Km & 2.5Km Fibromyalgia Awareness - 28th Feb-10 Wimbledon Park

Left to Right: Kirsty, Cllr Maurice Grove, Kay Sheriston, McCabe, Pam Stewart MBE

This event is dedicated to Kay Sheriston who joined AHM 9-months ago and brought this muscular condition on to AHM's radar. We were joined by Kirsty also with FM from Croydon, with talks by Pam Stewart MBE Chair for FM UK and Cllr Maurice Grove, Cabinet Member for Adult Services, together with the host - McCabe, Senior Partner of AHM-Go!

The fatigue ranges from feeling tired, to the exhaustion of a flu-like illness. It may come and go and people can suddenly feel drained of all energy – as if someone just “pulled the plug”. Fibromyalgia Syndrome (fibromyalgia for short) is a common illness. In fact, it is as common as rheumatoid arthritis and can even be more painful. People with mild to moderate cases of fibromyalgia are usually able to live a normal life, given the appropriate
treatment.

5Km & 2.5Km Diabetes Awareness- 5th Dec-09 Wimbledon Common

This is AHM's first 'Awareness Event' on Wimledon Common for Diabetes, it was absolute fun! Nadia Sawalha headed up the joggers as part of her prep for the London Marathon-2010. The youngest that achieved the 2.5Km course were 3-years old, well done Sam & Olivia.
Around 2.5 million people in the UK have Diabetes, and a further 500,000 have diabetes but are unaware that they have it. Its recommended that 30 mins of exercise a day, 5 times a week, will help to keep you fitter while helping to maintain a healthy blood pressure. For more information on diabetes, visit Diabetes UK.
