This notice is to keep everyone informed of the final outcome of Orla, Ruth
and Tom's Standing Order Appeal - an offer to boost any new standing orders
to ME Research UK with a one-off payment of £5.
After making contact with many ME support groups up and down Britain, Orla,
Ruth and Tom's efforts have blossomed, and 29 new standing orders have been
activated thanks to their appeal.
As they say: "The charity receives no funding from the government and is
relying totally on charitable donations to help them fund their research.
Getting regular income from standing orders can make it easier for ME
Research UK to plan for the future. Biomedical research will help us unravel
what is happening physically to people with ME, and the updated list of
projects can be seen at
http://www.meresearch.org.uk/resear...cts/index.html. We feel, as
people who have been sick for 7, 15 and 17 years, respectively, that the
sort of research that ME Research UK funds offers us the best hope for our
futures, and is the best antidote to disbelieving doctors and family
members."
They want to thank everyone who supported this appeal. As promised Orla, Tom
and Ruth have now made their donation of £5 for every new standing order set
up, or £145 alltogether. Our grateful thanks go to them and the 29 new
supporters who have heeded their call!
