It is with great regret that we heard last night of the death of Mrs Angela Flack, a trustee of the Board of The ME Association.
Angie was diagnosed just six months ago with an inoperable brain tumour. It was a huge shock to her but she carried on with life as if this was just another challenge along the way.
In hospital she was so proud to receive far more "get well" cards than any other patient on her ward, thanks to the many friends she had made in her work for those people with ME.
Typically, neither her illness not being in hospital stopped her from giving out leaflets from her hospital bed about ME and telling every patient, every nurse and every doctor that this is a real and physical illness. I 'm sure, with her passion, Angie converted all of the medical staff to our cause.
And now Angie has gone. We shall miss her terribly.
