I checked it a few hours ago and it had risen by nearly $1200 in an hour, with well under $12000 to go, so, all things being equal, there shouldn't be a problem in getting to target in the next 10 hours.

If it's necessary I will donate again, during the last day, but I'd really rather not.

 

Mady Hornig has given $800. Wow!

 

Thank you Mady Horning. That is wonderfully generous of you and we are so delighted.

 

Norwegian M E Association have donated. Now past $90000!

Norway and Sweden doing a lot of heavy lifting relative to population.

 

Denmark 17, Finland 7..........

Good to see it going up like this. Put in my donation today..We have a bit more than 24 hours to make 4%. 2744 dollars to go... Hope springs eternal... Great that it is so close to the goal.

 

2 days to go and we're at 97%. If this was a bicycle race, this would be a pretty amazing finish.

 

I think it's a bit longer than that. 11:59 PM PDT on 30 Apr will be 07:59 AM BST on 1 May in the UK. So I think there is still a bit over 2 days to go (it's 9:20 PM 28 Apr in the UK at the moment).:

 

I thought it was finished tomorrow night must have been getting into a bit of a panic. 2 days is even better. Its going really well though. It is very like a race .

 

i think it's a brave thing to do, to crowdfund for your wages! and the success I think is testament to teh splendid job David does for us globally. I do appreciate his intellectual rigour and honesty and self awareness, which throw into sharp relief the lack of these qualities in the psychobabble bubble of past research.

Much as I find the need to Crowdfund a necessity in this modern age, having had to do it myself in 2016 for an environmental legal case with CrowdJustice in the UK, I have to say, I did find it stressful and a worry!
So a double thank you to David for doing this for us, and I do hope the stress of the whole process is not too onerous.

I can see with these Crowdfunding appeals, that they at least help to raise considerable awareness on an international level......
I wonder if Sharpie et al did a similar exercise to support their take on matters, just what they would raise in £££ in 30 days from their 'grateful' patient community, ('recovered' or not!)?
