Daniel Radcliffe	Kate Beckinsale
Pierce Brosnan 'I wholeheartedly support the work of AYME and wish the organisation continued success in their vital work supporting young people with ME. At no time in anyone's life would it be fair to contract and live with this debilitating illness. But the work of AYME means that children and young adults have a forum of their peers to be supported and helped by. I understand what it can be like to live with an illness whose symptoms make every moment of life a challenge. I also know that in these difficult times it is an enormous comfort to know there are people there for you - and that is why I so applaud the work of this organisation. Wishing you all the best '	Paula Radcliffe 'I would like to pass on my support to all the young AYMErs. They all show great courage, determination and resolution everyday.
