Family Donates $224,000 to OMF's End ME/CFS Project!

We are elated to share more great news.

As we continue in the End ME/CFS Project goals, more individuals and groups are seeing the hope this unique research strategy offers. One is a family who have a loved one afflicted with ME/CFS.


The new $224,000 donation is going to give us a good start in raising funds to do Phase II, which is to follow the fully funded and expanded (with more tests) OMF ME/CFS Severely Ill-BIG DATA Study. To meet the End ME/CFS Project goals, we need to raise $5 million a year.


One of the key features that made this family decide to support our research strategy is collaboration. We've seen so much being done independently that our ME/CFS Scientific Advisory Board and our Foundation board saw a collaborated approach will bring advances quicker.

I can't see a thread about this. Just got this email today.

Fantastic news. Such a great project. And the ppl behind it listen to patients, understand the disease, are determined to help patients, and share their data (complete opposite of PACE authors). Could really turn things around for us. When I got sick in 2008 this was the sort of thing I wished we had but we didn't. Now we do. Important to promote their work and support in all ways we can.
