The 2015 award for Best Chili ME Fundraising has to go to Mady Hornig and Ian Lipkin and their team. Not only did they produce an awesome Holywood-quality video trailer for the event, they ingested an impressive variety of hot chilis to raise the funds needed to get their ME research underway.
They have demonstrated incredible dedication to us and to their research, and I don't think we can ever thank them enough for believing in us.
I agree, definitely star quality. My award for Best UK Research Team Chilli ME Challenge goes to Simon Carding and team at the Institute of Food Research, based at Norwich Research Park, hub for the Invest in ME Centre of Excellence for Translational Biomedical ME research, where the strategy is underway by investigating the role of the gut microbiome in ME. The IFR team Chilli ME Challenge video is embedded in this post - http://news.ifr.ac.uk/2015/07/the-heat-is-on-for-the-chilli-me-challenge/
