Richard E. Grant gives his support to AYME.

AYME (pronounced “aim”) is a UK-based independent registered charity dedicated to giving help, friendship, support and vital contact to children and young people with Myalgic Encephalopathy (M.E.)

Back in March 2002 AYME wrote to over 110 celebrities asking them all to send signed photographs and messages of support to sufferers for ME Awareness Week. The organization had a fantastic response and as a result they managed to secure some cool celebrity interviews – Including one with our very own REG which you can read here.

Stephen Fry has begun filming his directorial debut “Bright Young Things” which features REG in a cameo role. The film is an adaptation of Evelyn Waugh’s Vile Bodies and tells the story of a group of wild young London party people in the late 1920s. The main stars include Emily Mortimer, Stockard Channing, Hugh Laurie, Imelda Staunton and Harriet Walter, with cameo appearences by Dan Aykroyd, Jim Broadbent, Simon Callow, Sir John Mills and Peter O’Toole.
