The Blue Ribbon Foundation: Share Your Story

From the Share Your Story page, http://theblueribbonfoundation.org/share-your-story/

We are happy to provide a public platform to give you a voice. Please tell us (and the ME/CFS community) about your journey, needs, wishes, or anything you like. It can be as long or as short as you want, and it will be edited by our staff and featured on our "News and Stories" page, and promoted on the Forgotten Plague Facebook page.

See who has posted stories here - http://theblueribbonfoundation.org/news-and-stories/

Both Janet Dafoe and Ashley Davis (Whitney's sister) have posted stories - http://theblueribbonfoundation.org/2016/07/28/share-your-story-janet-dafoe-whitney-dafoe/ and http://theblueribbonfoundation.org/2016/07/25/share-your-story-ashley-davis-whitney-dafoe/ but be warned, both, unsurprisingly, are both really emotional reads (or at least were for me).
