We are less than 2 weeks away from The Big Give Christmas Challenge – can you help us raise £135,000 to improve lives and accelerate understanding for anyone affected by ME?
Donate online between 2nd and 9th December to see your gift DOUBLED.
Last year, the money raised during our campaign helped us to:
· Respond to over 1,100 requests for information and support from adults and children with ME. 91% had increased understanding of their rights and options following contact with us.
· Continue to support younger researchers in the ME field through our Future Leaders Network, and build on the initial results of our DecodeME study through our Genetics Centre of Excellence research partnership with Edinburgh University.
· Provided 215 bursaries to people on low incomes, helping them to access specialist healthcare including Doctors and Physiotherapists.
· Launch an Essay Competition for Medical Students across the UK, helping ensure the next generation of Doctors understand ME and can better support their patients with ME.
We’ll be announcing the winners of our essay competition during the Big Give campaign week. Follow us on social media (links below) to see how it improved understanding of ME for those students who took part.
With your help, this year we can reach our target and continue our work to improve lives and accelerate understanding – now and in the future.
For now, save the date and we will contact you with more information about our Big Give Christmas Challenge soon, or keep an eye on our social media channels for more updates.
Best wishes from the Action for ME team.
