MEAction: NIH Receives Surprise Holiday Gift from ME Community

MEAction has an article reporting on their "Cards to Koroshetz" campaign. They asked folks to send holiday cards to Dr. Koroshetz, Director of NINDS (National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke) at NIH, to tell their stories about living with ME:

MEAction said:

It was a big holiday season for Dr. Walter Koroshetz who oversees ME/CFS research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH)!

As part of our Cards for Koroshetz Campaign, people with ME, caretakers and allies sent Dr. Koroshetz 500 holiday cards with their stories of living with a neglected and shunned disease. They told Dr. Koroshetz his plan for ME requires urgent action after more than 30 years of neglect by the NIH, which has resulted in an absence of research, treatment options, diagnostic tools and knowledgable clinicians.

Through card after card, the ME community told stories of their lives as scientists, farmers, teachers, counselors and engineers forced to give up their careers, dreams and passions.
...

Our Cards to Koroshetz campaign is the third action in our #NotEnoughforME campaign calling for Dr. Koroshetz and the NIH to take specific actions to accelerate ME research. We are building the campaign infrastructure, and seeking volunteers who are interested in getting involved. Join the campaign!
