We are organizing a Thunderclap to energize the last week of our Kickstarter campaign, and we need your help!

You can read more and sign up here: http://j.mp/canarythunder

If you've never heard of Thunderclap, it is a tool that allows charities or causes to amplify a specific message by organizing hundreds of people to share that message with their social networks at a single, common moment.

Like Kickstarter, Thunderclap is all or nothing. We need at least 500 people to sign up to share our message on Twitter or Facebook before Tuesday, November 19th, at 1pm ET., or the message won't be sent.

After three years of being made to feel crazy, abused, misunderstood, mostly invisible, and completely powerless, it's kind of fun to be a part of a project that is just killing it.

Since we launched three weeks ago, you have made us consistently one of the top campaigns on Kickstarter (http://j.mp/canarykickstarter), you probably set some kind of record on indieWire, and now you've made us a trending project on Thunderclap (http://j.mp/canarythunder).

Is there anything this community can't make happen?

I'm feeling kind of...mainstream.

WOOHOO!!!! Four days to go and we have our Thunderclap!

http://j.mp/canarythunder

Thanks to your support, a potential group of 1.2 million people will see this message at 1pm ET on Tuesday, November 19th:

“Millions around the world suffer because of ignorance. Let's show the true face of M.E. #seeME #mecfs #MEally http://thndr.it/1cfNDUR

Donations are great – they allow us to keep doing this work and aspire to the highest level of quality – but this can so much more than that. What I love about Thunderclap is that even though there isn't yet a film, on Tuesday, tens of thousands will watch one of our videos and learn something new about M.E. for the first time.

Let's keep expanding that circle!
