Our foundation’s research is all about bringing relief to patients. We are so grateful that so many patients and their loved ones have put their trust and energy into the research we are doing. From all over the world, they are being creative and strategic in using whatever resources they can gather to raise funds for this groundbreaking science. Here is a list of their successes:
- $11,000 donation on May 13, 2016 – Australian patients organized Undies on the Outside Challenge. This FUNdraiser is still active.
- $1,237 donation on April 23, 2016 – The ME/CVS Verniging (ME / CFS Association) in the Netherlands hosted a showing of the film “Forgotten Plague” as a fundraiser.
