You are cordially invited to The Beth Mazur Innovation Prize Fundraiser on Wednesday, November 13th at 2pm PST/5pm EST.
Beth Mazur, who co-founded #MEAction was a kind and compassionate human being. She cared deeply about the ME and the Long COVID communities. She also cared deeply about innovation, new creative ways to solve problems that haven’t been solved.
Before Beth’s passing, one of the things she was focusing her time and energy on was the development of a scientific prize for ME research. The idea was to reward new advancements in research or medical treatments, in order to encourage more scientists to the field and amplify good achievements that benefit people with ME. Prizes are common in other disease spaces and ME needs and deserves the same kind of attention.
Because of Beth’s devotion to a scientific prize for ME and of her hope that innovative ideas would change the ME landscape, #MEAction has decided to launch the Beth Mazur Innovation Prize.
To celebrate Beth and what she wanted for the community, we invite you to join us for a virtual fundraiser on November 13th, 2024 at 5pm ET. During this fundraiser, we will discuss the importance of the Beth Mazur Innovation Prize, as well as the work #MEAction is doing to strengthen support for people with ME.
Please RSVP and help us continue Beth’s legacy of making a difference for the ME community. This is the first opportunity to learn specifics about the award and help us get it funded so we can launch in 2025! A community that is out of this world!
