Hello! 15 days to launch! As long-term Foggy Followers will know, I like to have defined year-long campaigns with a start and an end point. This is so that donors don’t get donation fatigue but also so that we can set targets for Foggy. Previous campaigns have made me realise something about myself, I don’t …
Hello, I mentioned this subject in today’s FogPod podcast, the past week has been particularly concerning and upsetting for not only myself but many others within the M.E./C.F.S. community.

Hello! I hadn’t planned on writing loads of blogs during Foggy’s home stretch but a few things have happened that should be talked about. Yesterday, for want of a better word, I was ‘head-hunted’ due to my social media marketing business to ‘host’ a Twitter hour slot for the foreseeable future. I had a phone …
