==Advocacy== Charity Public Relations had been Emily's career choice in school and when her disease remitted enough to campaign for [[myalgic encephalomyelitis|ME]] she did so even though often it was from her bed. She worked for Home-Start. She wrote a guide book "Severe ME/CFS: A Guide to Living".<ref>[http://www.meassociation.org.uk/2012/10/emily-collingridge-1981-2012-her-funeral-will-be-held-on-6-november-2012/ Emily Collingridge, 1981-2012: her funeral will be held on 6 November 2012 - ME Association]</ref><ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/114380158590669/ Severe ME/CFS: A Guide to Living Face Book Page]</ref> She wrote "Emily's Appeal," a history of her devastated life from a horrible disease and navigating an ignorant healthcare system.
