Hi guys,

Today is the LAST DAY to triple your donation!

Here are some words from the OMF board:

Four Years of Accomplishments & Growing!
Triple Giving Tuesday-Nov 29th.



With your unwavering support, OMF has become the leader in ME/CFS research. OMF is excited to announce some of our accomplishments since our founding in 2012. Your generous support helps us continue...

• OMF has raised over $5.6 million to-date to invest in our collaborative research projects. We can’t thank the patient community enough for their trust and generosity!
• OMF has funded 3 genetics data gathering studies.
• OMF currently has 3 major studies underway and several small projects with great promise, including the Severely ill Big Data Study, Metabolomics and Genetics Validation, and the B12/Folate/MTHFR study.
• OMF has established a reputation as the leading open and collaborative research entity worldwide for ME/CFS.
• OMF is in touch with hundreds of thousands of patients, building a global community. "OMF Team International."
• In mid 2016 we received the GuideStar “Platinum status”, a respected award in the Non Profit Community for transparency.
• We have received the Great Nonprofit designation as a “Top-rated charity 2015 and 2016” voted by you, our donors.
• We have advised governmental and other important organizations in the USA regarding ME/CFS research, including the NIH.
• OMF is involved with other patient advocates to push for additional government funding.

"Linda is an irresistible force and her warmth and intense commitment to finding a diagnosis and cure have brought me a friend, ally and ray of hope amidst the dreadful darkness of this disease. In addition, as a physician I became even more outraged at the failures of most of the medical world to show interest in and help fellow sufferers with this. So I have become deeply committed to fight for all of us with whatever energy and resources I have to bring attention to this disease and its complex biological processes. With the knowledge gained from the necessary research which is beginning, there will be enormous benefit to all of us far beyond even the world of ME/CFS." - Dr. Deborah Rose, board member & Triple Giving Tuesday matching gift funder.

Today is the final day of Triple Giving Tuesday. If you have already donated, we genuinely say 'thank you'! If you have not yet donated, please join Dr. Rose and donate today to triple your donation and help accelerate research to find answers. Donate now to find a cure. .

Thank you for being our partner!

Best wishes,
Grateful OMF Board

Hi, @Ben Howell. Are you still up? Was wondering does this go til 5 pm California time or midnight? A very nice PR member is helping me put an antivirus program on my computer, I don't think I have one. Running into problems and my energy is going kaput. Hope to do it by 5 if that's the deadline, if not I'll find another way. Thank you, Ben for your help, PR members and Dr. Rose and the team at OMF, and everyone for doing what you can do to make a difference!

Over the past six weeks, the ME/CFS community has rallied together to take a stand in the fight to cure ME/CFS.


OMF's Triple Giving Tuesday brought together a record number of donors for a ground-breaking success.

Our Triple Giving Tuesday campaign has raised over $240,000!

More than 500 donors participated in this important call to action.

Thanks to Dr. Deborah Rose, friends and supporters like you, OMF can strive to make lives better for people with ME/CFS and their families. The funds we raised will expand OMF's revolutionary research — identifying effective treatments, establishing biomarkers and ultimately, prevention.

Our community truly rallied to this call. We are so grateful to each and every person who donated. Please know that whether your gift was $3 or $10,000 or more, you are helping to fast-track research to find answers.

Thank you for standing with us creating the biggest single giving event we have ever had.
