Voices from the Shadows

About 100 people attended the showing of the documentary film ‘ Voices from the Shadows’ held at The Forum in Norwich on Friday 2nd December. This moving film told the stories of  severe ME sufferers and their carers and obviously as Jenny’s father it was both upsetting but also a call to [...]

Jenny is still alive [this is the most positive statement that we can issue]. She is just battling to survive every day, putting all her energies in trying to get enough food down her throat each day. This takes so much out of her and weakens her a lot, but is the most basic thing [...]

Jenny welcomes all reviews. So if you’ve read ‘Rainbows in my eyes’, we would love you to write a review either on Amazon or your [...]

Jenny is extremely ill, as you all know. She has just about been able to convey to us a few thoughts for today, International M.E. Awareness Day, for us to type up.

Jenny is 25 today. Many thanks for all those who have contributed to the Dear Jenny Project and sent messages to her. She was presented with the messages in a presentation album  this morning. If you would like to send Jenny a message then please send it to books@jkrowbory.co.uk and we will add them to the album.

Jenny was in a very vulnerable [...]

It would be great if you could reminisce about things you did together or things you remember her saying or doing or [...]

She is lucky if she manages to wash once a week and it is very difficult for her to [...]
