A SUPPORT group for people with ME and fibromyalgia has bagged a renowned journalist as a patron.
Fibro, ME/CFS Babes and Guys has secured reporter and broadcaster Sonia Poulton as patron.
The group helps people with ME, which causes chronic fatigue, and fibromyalgia, which causes chronic pain.
Ally Reeve, the founder of the group, hopes having a famous patron will highlight the conditions.
She said: "I think having a patron will help us raise awareness.
"There are so many people who have these conditions but they are not highlighted in the media as much as other conditions."
