We fund biomedical research into ME to create a strategy for cure/treatment

Story

As you all know this is Jessica's  10 Christmas with ME and by now we were hoping there would be a cure!  So this year I do not want bought Christmas presents instead I ask you donate £5 ONLY

Some pertent facts: 

 there is more government funding in one month for HIV than for ANY funding for ME ever! 

the UK are still not acknowledging WHO diagnosis that ME is biological disease.

NICE guidelines are being reviewed at present but there is little confidence in better diagnosis and treatment.

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).
