Thanks to all who are voting and promoting this contest. I think it is important to get our community to see that this is something constructive that they can participate in and actually get results. We can't do research but we can fundraise just by going on the computer for a couple minutes a day. Finally we can actually make a difference!

Speaking of research and fundraising, some of you may not know about a charity search engine in the UK called Everyclick. It gives part of its profits to charities registered with it and by using the search engine instead of google or whatever you use, you can help fund biomedical research for M.E. The charity registered is ME Research UK. Click on http://www.everyclick.com/meresearchuk There is no cost to you and you are doing what you were going to do anyway so no extra effort required. I've been using this for several years.
