We're delighted to announce Montell Douglas as our BBC Lifeline Presenter!
Montell will feature in our 9-minute video, alongside our CEO, Sonya Chowdhury, and the real stories of Andrea, Alice and Isla, and Mark who will be sharing their experiences of living with ME.
As a Gladiator, previous Olympic Bobsleigher and Strictly Come Dancing contestant, Montell has a large social media following. Having lived with chronic pain from dysmenorrhea herself, Montell was delighted to use this opportunity to help us reach new audiences and show the often-hidden reality of living with ME.
“I'm really proud to be presenting Action for ME's BBC Lifeline Appeal.
ME is a condition that affects so many people, yet is still widely misunderstood and often overlooked. Through this appeal, I hope we can shine a light on the reality of living with ME, including those who are severely affected.
Please share and support our appeal to raise vital awareness and understanding of ME and together, we can creative positive change for the future.”
We'd like to say a huge thank you to Montell for supporting our appeal and the wider ME community.
Tune into BBC One on Sunday at 2.50pm to watch our appeal video!
