I am not sure if this has already been posted but I couldn't find it so wanted to share it with everyone. These came in my latest e-mail update which said to share them far & wide on social media sites, boards, etc. They are the links to OMF & the End ME/CFS Projects marketing brochure and video library:
http://www.openmedicinefoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/End-MECFS-Pamphlet-2.pdf
http://www.openmedicinefoundation.org/video-library/
In addition, they said (and I am paraphrasing):
That Phase 1 of the severely ill big data study is currently underway and they are continuing the momentum preparing for Phase 2 of the End ME/CFS project. Their goal is to insure a continuous flow of funding to keep this research going, test potential biomarkers and treatments, and take the next steps once results materialize.
They also said that they are setting up for the following:
1. Giving Tuesday, Dec 1st - To ignite excitement, we have a very generous donor that has offered to match three times on the dollar up to $25,000 for all donations received on Giving Tuesday, Dec 1st!
2. Year end appeal - We will have a year-end drive for recurring donations which will provide a consistent, reliable funding stream to keep our efforts moving fast forward.
3. Make your own fundraising page- We will be rolling out "make your own page" for fundraising via Crowdrise so that people can raise money for ME/CFS research (in lieu of gifts) for birthdays, anniversaries and celebrations.
4. We have already set up "Give by Shopping" which is the best and easiest way to raise money because people are spending money for the holidays anyway and they can have donations go to OMF without any additional costs to them. Promote this now so friends and family can sign up easily for their holiday shopping.
