I seriously think we should make this more official. Give the award a name and pass it out, and write up their acheievements. (CFS Heroes? Something like that? CFS Hero 2009?)
Katie, I saw your NaNoWriMo avatar a while back - we could give people something like that. I'd be willing to do the graphic design.
Come to think of it, it could be the first action by CFS/OUT.
?
Do you want to set up an official group? If you do I certainly think you should start a thread an work out it's aims, from the campaign to awards like this and what other things it/you would like to achieve. I like the CFS Heroes, maybe ME/CFS Heroes as there are UK folk listed. A graphic would be great, it could go up on bloggers sites who've been award and direct them to the CFS/OUT site. Oh, you'll need a site
I think it could be a goer.
I'd contribute a little more to this post but I've completely lost my sleeping mojo in the last few weeks and my head feels like a bowling ball on my shoulders and my brain is trying to work but it keeps grinding to a halt.
Also, I just thought of someone I would like to add:
John Herd. He's one of the most brilliant, articulate, dry humoured, creative, caring and inspirational people I've met during my ME career. Well, online met, I missed my chance when he was on these shores but that turned out to be good for me in the long run. His words effected me and I carry them to this day along with many others who he has inspired with words that somehow he had the talent to express and a humour that kept us all going. I will never look at Catwoman again without seeing myself
Oh, and if John ever reads this, rest assured that I can still type with my toes but it's so cold here I'm not taking my socks off for love nor money
Ok, maybe money, I've already got the love.
