Thank you to all who have already donated and to our generous matching gift donors, the Cosgrove Family and four anonymous donors (two parents and two patients). Let's beat our new goal of $350,000!
Please donate generously and invite your family and friends to donate too. You are funding critical research that will provide answers for millions around the globe. Share our hashtags and spread our message of hope.

Helping Children Succeed in Education
Sample Physician's Letter
Dr. Faith Newton, a member of OMF's Education Committee, has provided several Fact Sheets to help improve the educational outcome for children with ME/CFS. To provide additional support for parents and children, Dr. Newton has shared a sample physician's letter to schools. This detailed letter provides sample language for physicians to use to help educate the people at your child's school about the illness and to increase learning opportunities for children with ME/CFS. The letter is available on our website. Please feel free to print or email and share it with your child's physician.
Worldwide Tour Spreading Hope Around the U.S.
Linda Tannenbaum has been spreading a message of hope in OMF's research updates in Dana Point, California, New York City, New York co-hosted with ME Action, and in Newton, Massachusetts co-hosted with Mass CFIDs ME & Fibromyalgia Association.
The presentations have had broad support with audiences of parents, patients, caregivers, family members and people learning about ME/CFS for the first time. Overall, people have left the events with a feeling of hope for a brighter future for patients. We are pleased to share that the presentation in NY was recorded and will be made available in the coming weeks on our YouTube channel.
Some Worldwide Tour events, like the event in Dana Point hosted by Amelie and Keegan
Hicks, included a screening of Unrest where over 150 people gathered. We are honored be an official partner with the Time for Unrest campaign spreading awareness and hope.
The next OMF-hosted screening of Unrest, followed by a research update, will be on Saturday, November 11th at 1pm at California State University Fullerton (CSUF). If you are in Southern California, please join us. Reserve your seat today. This event is co-sponsored with CFSME of Orange County, Fibromyalgia & Chronic Pain Center at CSUF and Eta Sigma Gamma CSUF.
The next Worldwide Tour visit is scheduled in Los Angeles on February 11, 2018.
