Young Hearts is a collection of inspirational poetry by over 40 children and young people with ME aged 7 to 26. Foreword by Terry Waite CBE. All profits will be used for the Trust's services. This book was originally the dream of Tymes member Jade Louise Scarrott who was so tragically taken from us in a road accident at the age of 14. She wanted to raise awareness and understanding of ME in children. A review was recently published by Special Children magazine.

To commemorate Jade Louise Scarrott we present the ITV Central News feature on childhood ME (broadband version - 11.4MB) (dialup version - 1.05MB) which was prompted by the publication of Young Hearts. Includes interviews with Jade's mother Karen and Jane Colby. If you have problems viewing Windows Media files, download this version - 2.75MB.

I very much hope you will join me in becoming a Friend of the Trust.

Let us together support this excellent charity that is providing so much practical help to children with ME. And in doing so, let us also support one another.

We would like to thank poet, songwriter and BBC presenter Stewart Henderson, who wrote a poem about ME especially for the Remember The Children concert at Brentwood Cathedral. His moving performance was much appreciated. Stewart has kindly given us permission to present his poem here.
