Thank you to all of the donors, matching gift donors, and supporters around the world who helped us surpass our 2017 goal!
You don’t have to be a world leader or a billionaire to give back. Giving Tuesday is about ordinary people coming together doing extraordinary things. OMF is joining this global action with TRIPLE GIVING TUESDAY to accelerate research to help millions suffering with ME / CFS and other related chronic, complex diseases.
We are thrilled to announce that we have increased our Triple Giving Tuesday goal to $350,000. Several anonymous donors have joined Jack and Dilla Cosgrove and Family and pledged to match your donation. Our new matching donors are two parents and two patients.
We have very generous matching grant donors! This means that your donations will be tripled and we hope to raise $350,000 or more!
Triple Giving Tuesday donations will contribute to Phase II of OMF’s End ME / CFS Project. Details will be shared shortly.
Please join our Triple Giving Tuesday campaign!
#TripleTuesdayOMF will run from October 17 – November 28, 2017. Donate any day of the week during this period to have your gift tripled.

“10 years ago, in Baltimore, at my first ME / CFS conference, I struck a conversation with the person sitting next to me. She had a nice smile. Linda’s daughter was sick. My wife was sick. We left the conference with no answers but we had found each other.
Today Linda is helping OMF drive research that will find the cause and cure for ME / CFS. My family supports my wife Tracey every day doing our best to help her live a meaningful life despite this thing that has us in its grip. For the next 6 weeks, my family is your family. Together we raise hope and will win back our loved ones lives.”
