Invest in ME Research has, as its objective, to change how myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) is perceived, treated and researched. We do this by raising funding for biomedical research and improving education about the disease. We are currently facilittaing high-quality biomedical research in UK/Europe

Story

ME is a seriously debilitating disease, which is misunderstood and under researched. Affecting over 250,000 people of all ages in the UK, including a close friend, it leaves 25% of its sufferers house or bed bound. The lack of awareness and funding given to the disease only adds to the pain felt by those affected. Therefore, I hope this small effort will help raise funding and awareness for this condition, but above all remind its sufferers that they are not alone.

Invest in ME Research is an independent UK charity finding, funding and facilitating a strategy of biomedical research into Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME or ME/CFS).The charity is run by volunteers - patients or parents of children with ME - with no paid staff.Overheads are kept to a minimum and all funds raised to go to promoting education of, and funding for biomedical research into, ME.Our efforts are focused on setting up a UK Centre of Excellence for ME which will provide proper examinations, diagnosis and in time treatment(s)/cure(s).
