Article: Charity launch day

A charity which helps fight an incurable and debilitating illness is stepping up its campaign to raise public awareness and give some sufferers respite.

People with fibromyalgia, widespread pain affecting the muscles but not the joints, have joined together to form Fibrohouse South West.

A high-profile launch is being staged in St Budeaux on Saturday with entertainment and a visit by city boxing legend Scott Dann.

Charity director Victor Boumante, himself a sufferer, said there was not enough help for people with fibromyalgia, ME and chronic fatigue syndrome.
