My story

“Just Four Quid” is a campaign to raise money for biomedical research into the neuro-immune disease ME/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Every week for a year until May 2010, the Just Four Quid daily blog is offering a moneysaving tip so that you can donate part of your saving to research. For example, if you save a tenner you might donate a fiver!

The campaign supports two research charities – the ME Association’s Ramsay Research Fund and ME Research UK – who fund biomedical research into the causes, effects and possible treatments of ME/CFS. This page is for communal donations to the Ramsay Research Fund; we have a similar JustGiving page for ME Research UK and many people also have set up their own Just Four Quid campaign pages on JustGiving. You can find links to all the JustGiving pages and our weekly-updated grand total raised from all our JustGiving pages plus offline donations on the blogsite.

The UK government has not yet funded biomedical research into ME/CFS and between them, UK ME/CFS research charities last year only received £0.4 million in donations. Yet if all 250,000 with the diagnosis in the UK put in “just four quid” we’d have a million! Cancer Research UK alone had £465 million in donations last year, over a thousand times the sum that ME/CFS charities received. This is why cancer treatment is improving and people with ME/CFS are still waiting!

Please join in and tell everyone you know about the campaign. Let’s all give as much as we can afford and let’s get better! Please donate now!
