Tell Your Senator to “SUPPORT A FUNDING INCREASE FOR ME/CFS” Today!
Thanks to your hard work during ME/CFS Advocacy Week, the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee is currently considering our request to increase federal ME/CFS funding to $9.9m. Ask your Senator to support this request today.
Our champion, Senator Markey, led two requests with 18 other Senators from both parties. These requests, if approved, can increase funding for ME/CFS research and education!

1) Requesting $9.9 million for ME/CFS programs at the CDC (Labor-HHS committee)
2) Adding ME/CFS to the Peer-Reviewed Medical Research Program (Defense committee)
Please contact your Senators TODAY and ask them to support these efforts.
