Kara Jane Spencer, a former Edge Hill student, suffered from a severe form of myalgic encephalomyelitis . She first began experiencing symptoms around 15 years ago.
“During the pandemic, as only Kara could, she successfully drew together a team of musicians to help her to record an album which climbed the charts. She was an amazing person, and all of our hearts go out to her and her family.” ME, or myalgic encephalomyelitis, is described by the NHS as a long-term illness with a wide range of symptoms. Kara was warned by doctors her symptoms were so severe, it could shorten her life expectancy.
