If they are very sick with the illness all the more reason to donate to the cause.

I have sent maybe eight thousand letters on behalf of an ME/CFS group to former enquirers to the group including people who attended meetings plus some lapsed members. Most of these letters were sent 10+ years ago when few people would have been donating to groups in other countries particularly...
