Holiday Inn

An ME Conference was held in Belfast on

Saturday 15/09/07 organised by
Derek Peters from NI ME Campaign.

Well Done Derek!!!

Presentations where

given by Vance Spence of ME Reasearch UK,
and Professor Malcolm Hooper.

Vance updated us on current
and future biomedical research projects and

Malcolm looked at the legal end of things.
In attendance were patients and carers.


Frances and Eoin O'Brien travelled all the
way from Dublin.
Really enjoyed your company and thank you
for giving me a little bit of hope!!



























Joan Mc Parland who has been a true friend
to me since last year.
Nice to meet you and  your mum May all the
way from Newry.

Well done to them for making such
a huge effort,
as both Owen and Joan have ME.

It was also very nice to meet up with some
old cyber friends,
in particular Ian Mc llroy who had expended
alot of time and energy
to research and provide some information
for me
with regards to my son David.

It was very much appreciated.

It was unfortunate that time was limited
and we did not get to catch up with the
others in the group.

However we did spend a lovely evening with
Frances and Eoin
who we had for dinner at the Devenish Arms
(not literally, i may add).


A special thank you to Vance
(you are a gentleman),
for making the effort to attend
the conference
and for taking the time
after the conference to
speak to me about my son David.

It was nice to get to know you
a little better and finally
get to meet you in person.

I look forward to seeing
you in October.!!!!
