A number of years ago our niece was diagnosed with ME. It took time to get the diagnosis as the illness is still so badly understood! She has been remarkable in how she has faced the difficulties it has thrown at her but if we can understand the illness better we can make life better!

Please help me raise money towards important research!

Only biomedical research can find the causes of ME/CFS, improve diagnosis and treatment, and, ultimately, arrive at a cure. That’s why research is our focus.

We've awarded 64 full grants and 5 PhD-level awards since 2000 and invested over £3.5million. But research is expensive and becoming more so every day. That’s the challenge we face, and that’s why we need your help.
