A global event from your own home to shower the WPI with a gentle rain of tiny donations on or around each 20th of the month, to help the WPI continue with their work, finding the cause and cure of neuro-immune diseases.
COUNT ME IN! started in January 2011, and in the first month we raised $666.50. In the second month we raised $2,529.09. Lets try and double that for March!
As this is an international campaign, the 20th lasts at least 47 hours an 59 minutes. Actually, a day here or there is unimportant.
The WPI are doing ground-breaking translational research into neuro-immune diseases such as M.E.,CFS, Autism, GWS, Chronic Lyme, Fibromyalgia and more. There are millions of us world-wide who will benefit from the work the WPI is doing, and yet it is up to us to provide the funds to keep them going. If we all give just what we can afford each month, we can and will give them the resources to complete their important work. If each new member finds just two more people to join in, then what we can do is limitless.
Remember the Chinese proverb where the sage asked for one grain of rice for the first square of the chessboard, two for the second, four for the third, eight for the fourth, doubling the amount for each square? By the time he got to the 64th square, there was more rice than in the whole of China, enough to feed the world.
Everyone counts. Not only every dollar but every donor. Those of us who can only give a little are still helping to swell the ranks of WPI supporters. So, when they go for a Foundation Grant, and the Foundation says, "can you show that you have support in the community?" WPI can say "Yes! Look at all these people who give to us every month, even if all they can afford to give is 1 or $1".*
NEW! This month you can use our very own dedicated FB Causes page, which will mean the Causes total will be available in real time, and your donation will automatically be counted in the CMI totals.
