Starting today and running through Tuesday, November 28, the Open Medicine Foundation - one of the premier organizations conducting ground-breaking ME/CFS research - is taking the annual #GivingTuesday tradition (the day after Cyber Monday) and opening it up to a month and a half of chances to TRIPLE your donation.
The Cosgrove family, who have a family member with ME/CFS, have generously offered to match and triple every dollar donated to OMF during this month and a half, up to $100,000! Just think of what ME/CFS researchers can do with those extra resources!
For background, OMF is one of the organizations that sponsored the recent Community Symposium on the Molecular Basis of ME/CFS and has a large team of experts in a variety of fields conducting research into all aspects of ME/CFS.
Here are more details on this wonderful Triple Giving Tuesday opportunity, including ways to help spread the word, and you can donate on this page. They've already raised $4500, and the campaign just started today! With this triple matching gift, even just a few dollars can help to make a real difference.
You'll find more information on OMF on this page, and here are more details on their research under the umbrella of the End ME/CFS Project.
So, stop by the donation page today to triple your gift! I just did.
I have had Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) since March 2002. Both of my sons also got ME/CFS at ages 6 and 10. Our younger son fully recovered after 10 years of mild illness. Our older son still has ME/CFS and also has Lyme disease plus two other tick infections. This blog is about how our family lives with chronic illness, with a focus on improving our conditions and enjoying our lives in spite of these challenges.
