Dear ____,
I am a proud supporter of #MEAction because #MEAction prides itself on being an activism first organization. From the protests around the world, to the displays of courage from our beds, and to the support they provided, they continue to take ACTION for the ME community.
It is because of #MEAction’s work, that I am continuing to fight to improve the lives of people with myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), commonly called chronic fatigue syndrome. ME is a debilitating disease that affects the brain and immune system. It impacts over 1 million people of all ethnicities, ages, and genders in the US and 15-30 million around the world. There are no FDA-approved treatments, and many are left, homebound or bedridden, without any access to medical care. And with Long COVID leading to a HUGE increase of ME diagnosis, this work is more important than ever before!
My goal is to help #MEAction raise $ 200,000 this giving season to support the BOLD and INNOVATED future of #MEAction!
Recent #MEAction Astronomical Wins:
- #MEAction Director of Scientific and Medical Outreach featured in Time 100 Health and at the Washington Post
- Leading the way with Mayo Clinic and Emory’s commitment to improving treatment and care for people with ME/CFS
- #MEAction’s push to ensure the NIH research roadmap leads to clinical trials

Your donation today will sustain a global community of over 30,000 patients, caregivers, volunteers, and allies for the future. Together, we can work to raise awareness, educate medical doctors, grow the scientific field, and build a thriving community of support and friendship.
#MEAction is a 501(c)(3) organization and donations are fully tax deductible for US taxpayers.
I hope you will join me in creating a world where all people with ME have access to compassionate, effective care.
Thank you in advance for your support,
Signed
