Thanks for posting this - worth having the full text here, I think - this looks like a great opportunity:

This is a rare opportunity in the world of CFS/ME research. An investment of $225,000 will allow Simmaron to complete the pilot study, which will open the door to a pre-approved $800,000+ grant for a larger follow-up study investigating immune dysfunction in CFS/ME.
That’s more than $1 million of targeted biological research conducted by world-renowned scientists specializing in CFS/ME! Simmaron has already raised $75,000 so we’re one-third of the way there. But we need your help to reach our goal.

The Need​

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), also known as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) and Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (CFIDS) is a debilitating, chronic neuroimmune illness which affects multiple body systems and substantially impairs functioning in patients.​

​

Did You Know?​

• 1-4 million Americans have CFS/ME, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control.
• Approximately 25% of patients are disabled by the illness.
• Diagnosis is a process of elimination, as no biomarker has been identified.
• There are no medications specifically approved for treatment of CFS/ME.

Simmaron’s top priority is to fund a pilot study that will investigate cytokines and immune/autoimmune activity in CFS/ME spinal fluid. See our Research page to learn more details about this important study.​

This is the perfect project to really reach out to "civilians" for. Serious research, with the "endorsement"/vetting of an outside grantor, plus their dollars will have exponential impact! Pls reach out to friends and family by email, Facebook, etc.
