This is for their 'Let's do it for ME' project:
LDIFME is a patient-driven campaign to raise awareness and vital funds for the proposal for an examination and research facility that can lead to a centre of excellence for translational biomedical research into Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME). The campaign is run by patients and carers who want the findings of high quality research to result in the development of appropriate treatments and who will not give up that hope for the future, despite the huge personal cost to their health that a lot of the campaigning has caused. The LDIFME campaign shows the true nature of people with ME and their families - looking to make progress and regain their health, using forward thinking and a can-do approach to raising awareness and making ME a mainstream illness.
All of these wonderful gestures, supreme efforts, and overwhelming generosity are a testament to positive, forward thinking individuals.
Thanks to patients and supporters the UK will now be able to claim a promising project to add to the research base - and a foundation for future research.
The campaign by ME patients and their families may not receive much publicity but, as we have said before, actions speak louder than awards.
We hope to begin the first biomedical research project this year and to follow it with other projects.
