Raising money for ME/CFS Research

Why?

Because ME/CFS is one of the most under-funded illnesses.  This is due to only partial recognition.   There may be a lot of biomedical research findings which provide strong evidence that the  illness is a real and primarily organic illness but these are small projects which don’t tend to make it into the big medical journals. Therefore there is still a lot of  ignorance both in the medical community and in society at large which doesn’t help to encourage funding.

There are organisations and charities successfully using crowdfunding for research projects in the absense of goverment funding.  Two good examples are ME Research UK and Invest in ME.

Some people with ME/CFS are well enough to do craftwork which is sellable.  A few individuals within Elevate have sold a few things for charitable causes and it’s something we like to encourage.  Please contact us to find out more.
