Linda (Tannenbaum) And OMF message:

Triple your donation now and help raise $100,000 more towards a cure for ME/CFS.

Today we are launching Triple Giving Tuesday OMFwhich will run today, Tuesday, through Tuesday, November 29. Dr. Deborah Rose, one of our very generous board members, has graciously pledged a $75,000 matching gift to encourage world-wide support of Triple Giving Tuesday OMF.

DONATE Now: For every $1 donated, Dr. Rose will triple donations up to $25,000 - - making "Giving Tuesday" our #TripleTuesdayOMF !

GOAL: Our goal is to raise $100,000 or more and to create a worldwide, viral #unselfieME social media campaign.

We invite you to join OMF to make this an amazingly successful fundraising, friendraising, and awareness campaign. There are several ways you can get involved:

1. Make a personal donation of any amount. Every dollar donated gets us closer to a cure for ME/CFS.
2. Create your own #UNSELFIEME. Making a donation to OMF is a very unselfish thing to do. We encourage you to make your donation, take an “un-selfie” and share why this is important to you on your Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages and encourage others to donate.
3. Make a personal fundraising page and invite your family and friends to donate NOW to TRIPLE their donation.
4. Host a fundraising event. Invite your family, friends, colleagues, and community to learn about ME/CFS and give them the opportunity to join you by donating to OMF for #GivingTuesdayOMF #TripleTuesdayOMF.
5. Promote finding a cure by taking the message viral. Share OMF's hashtags and encourage others to support research.

#GivingTuesdayOMF #TripleTuesdayOMF #GivingMEDay
#UnselfieME #GivingTuesday #EndMECFS

6. Be creative and have fun!!!!

We have additional information and resources you can use for #TripleTuesdayOMF and for event planning on our website.

Last year, 71 countries came together to celebrate #GivingTuesday. We invite you to be part of this global effort to help ME/CFS patients no matter where you live through
#GivingTuesdayOMF.

In advance, thank you for your support to find a cure to help people around the globe by being a part of #TripleTuesdayOMF. Together, we can meet and exceed our $100,000 goal and raise awareness with your #UnselfieME!

JOIN US - GET INVOLVED TODAY!

I already donate monthly but i'll give another $50 since it's quadrupled.

Please find a cure, i'm so fed up lying in bed suffering.

@Ben Howell

I've just had the email you quoted above which says Triple Tuesday begins today (I should have been able to work that out as today is, would you believe, Tuesday). Does that mean my donation from yesterday will not be tripled?

Hey @Cheesus

Your donation from yesterday will count as triple, do not worry! (Yesterday, the 17th, was accepted).

So all good, and thankyou!

@Ben Howell Does the donation triple only on Tuesdays? I thought it's every day of the week until the November 29th but I saw some people on twitter saying it's just on Tuesdays.

Hi @Neunistiva

Nope-donations from now until the 29th November on ANY day will be tripled.

The #TripleTuesdayOMF reference is just to the official day it began!

So you can donate any day and it counts!

P.s. Please pm me to show me these tweets if you can as that needs to be sorted!

[justy]

Can more people take selfies and upload them on Facebook, Twitter etc? so far I can only find three selfies on FB using the hashtags - Ron and Janet, me and a young British woman. Cant find anything on twitter, although im sure its there.

Hey guys,

Just a quick one.

If any of you know anyone that has mentioned donating on the forum, but may not have seen the thread, has been away etc, i'd hugely appreciate reaching out to them if possible.

Im not sure how many have seen the thread, but it would be great if we could increase visibility as much as possible.

So by doing this, and using the #TripleTuesdayOMF hashtag on twitter,facebook etc we should be able to keep smashing this!

Thanking you!
