[[File:Mike's EU Marathons.png|right|Source: mikeseumarathons.eu]] [[Mike Harley]] has committed to running a marathon in each of the 27 EU countries, in order to raise money for [[Invest in ME]] and biomedical research. The goal is to raise Β£42,195 to reflect the 42.195km in a marathon. Mike's main motivation is to help a good friend, Ian, who has [[myalgic encephalomyelitis|ME]]. During a different [http://92in92.blogspot.com/ charity fundraiser] in 2014, he had the opportunity to meet other ME patients and their families, which had such a profound effect on Mike that he launched into this more ambitious fundraiser. Mike states: "I'm not a natural runner by any stretch, being an adopted Bristolian I love a drop of cider and it's fair to say I've had a relatively sedentary lifestyle having completed just 3 half marathons in the last 14 years (I did my first as a fresh faced 18 year old in London in 2001! UK is done, hurrah!) But I am extremely stubborn and whilst this is a hugely physically tough, time consuming and expensive challenge, it's one I'm completely committed to and for a cause to which I feel very connected to."<ref>http://www.mikeseumarathons.eu/the-challenge.html</ref> For more info on his project as well as his progress, please see [http://www.mikeseumarathons.eu/the-challenge.html Mike's EU Marathons].<ref>http://www.mikeseumarathons.eu/</ref> ==Online presence== *[http://www.mikeseumarathons.eu/ Website] *[https://www.facebook.com/mikeseumarathons/?fref=pb Facebook] *[https://twitter.com/MikesEUmaras?lang=en Twitter] *[https://www.instagram.com/mikeharley82/ Instagram] *[https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/mikeseumarathons Donation page] ==References== {{Reflist}} [[Category:Advocacy and fundraising initiatives]]
