Dance champ's ME lobby From The BBC website
Beth Llewellyn's dreams of a dancing career were shattered
A former Welsh disco dancing champion suffering from a chronic fatigue illness is calling on the UK government to invest more in research.
Beth Llewellyn, aged 20, from Milford Haven will travel to Downing Street on Monday with five other young sufferers to deliver a petition directly to Prime Minister Tony Blair.

She and her family say not enough is being done to support sufferers, and they are hoping that the trip to London will help draw attention to the problem.
