Bracknell News 15th May 2008

Sufferers of an illness, of which little is known, put on a special event to raise awareness and funds for treatment.

A Chronic Fatigue Syndrome awareness day, took place on Friday, at the Complimentary Therapy Clinic, in Denmark Street, Wokingham.

Organiser Julie Wootten said, 'It was a great success, and we raised £75.00 for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) research. My thanks go to the Complimentary Therapy Clinic, for letting us use their place, and giving us their time. It was lovely to have people come and support us and find out about how CFS affects group members.

Visitors to the clinic, were able to sample therapies, including Crystal healing Craniosacral therapy, Indian Head Massage, Reiki and Vertical Reflexology.

They could also chat to therapists about acupuncture and homeopathy and were invited to donate £5.00 towards helping people with the disease.
