Teen's Christmas Album Aids Chronic Fatigue Battle

A courageous 17-year-old, Harry Boulton, has launched a charity Christmas album to support those affected by myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), also known as chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Harry received his diagnosis in January 2024, following a viral infection that drastically impacted his health.

His festive offering, titled 'White Christmas,' comprises classic Christmas melodies. The initiative is designed to raise vital funds for individuals living with ME/CFS, while simultaneously striving to elevate public comprehension of the condition's debilitating nature. Harry emphasized his personal connection to the holiday season, seeing it as an ideal time for fundraising.

Harry expressed a strong desire to change public perception, noting that ME/CFS has historically been misunderstood and trivialized. He aims to combat the misconception that people with the condition are 'just tired,' advocating for greater recognition of its serious impact on daily life.
