Hi all ive started a cause on facebook for my birthday with all monies going to WPI . Im pretty sick at the mo so not really posting on the forums just keeping on facebook . Im up to $350 so far if anyone else would like to contribute please do I would love to raise a substantial amount thankyou .

MY CAUSE

Hello, and thanks for checking out my Birthday Wish in support of the cause Cure 4 ME
Hi all ive set up my birthday cause to benefit the Whittemore Peterson Institute as I want to thank them for all they are doing for patients with ME/CFS . Also I believe they are the only ones with the patients best interests at heart and the only ones capable of finding a cause and a cure for this damn awful illness that is taking my life away and depriving my children of their mum . I shall know shortly whether I have XMRV thanks to the WPI . Please support my cause , I believe $10 is the minimum donation you can give which works out at 6.25 . If you can give a little more please do . We are all in this together , together we can make a difference and together we can beat this bloody awful illness . Love and hugs to all , I just want my life back x x x x x
I'm asking for $10 or whatever you can afford.
You can help by giving or sharing.

Thankyou to all who have donated so far , the WPI really need our support right now , especially seeing as they are being turned down for grants left right and centre . Please donate if you can

It's a good thing you're doing. I did the same for my birthday last June and raised a little bit. I wonder how much could be raised if more of us did this. I bet we could really make a difference for WPI and bring about real change for us all. Best of luck and happy birthday to you!
