Halloween is creeping up, and we’ve brewed up something special for the M.E. community that doesn’t require broomsticks, bonfires, or bouncing off the walls with energy we don’t have.

Introducing… Halloween Storytime with Foggy’s P.A.! 🧙‍♀️📖

We know that joining in with seasonal fun can be tricky when you live with M.E., energy is in short supply. That’s why this event is designed to be as easy and accessible as possible. You can tune in from your bed, sofa, or wherever you’re most comfy. Dress up spookily if you fancy it (or not, your PJs totally count as costumes in our book).

Foggy’s P.A. will be reading aloud from Toby and the Silver Blood Witches, a brilliant book written by fellow pwME Sally Doherty. With a reading age of 9–11, it’s just spooky enough to feel Halloween-y, but not so scary it’ll make your heart race like you’ve just climbed Everest. No fright night here, just a gentle, magical story with witches, mystery, and a sprinkle of eerie fun.

💜 Why It’s Perfect for Us

We know we’re asking a lot of the community during this week, October 29th is BED Day for Severe M.E., and it’s a time for campaigning, and awareness. But Halloween Storytime is a little win. It’s a chance to feel part of something joyful, without needing to use up precious energy.

You can lay back and listen, or join in with the fun if you’re able. No pressure, no expectations, just a lovely moment to share together.

So grab your blanket, your pumpkin socks, or your foggy foghorn (optional), and let’s make Halloween a celebration that includes all of us.

🎧 Tune in. Chill out. Let the witches do the work.

Love,
Foggy and his P.A. Sally 💙🦴
