IMAGINE YOU GET THE FLU AND THEN CAN'T GET OUT OF BED.
Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a debilitating and complicated disease. People with ME/CFS often find it difficult to carry out their usual activities. They experience a deep exhaustion that persists even after periods of rest. What’s more, this disease can affect anyone. According to WHO estimates, more than 20 million people are affected by ME/CFS.
Laura, a creative person of many talents, actively contributes to Guardians4ME by photographing portraits of our team. She has a long-standing friendship with Christoph, and thanks to her generous donation of time and talent, we have benefited from her creative output. This has allowed us to focus on building the WE&ME Foundation.
Julia, is a management consultant and fitness trainer based in Vienna. She witnessed her best friend Christoph decline due to ME/CFS and now supports the WE&ME Foundation by helping to raise awareness of the disease.
My name is Kathrin, and my support for the WE&ME Foundation is deeply personal. Christoph has been one of my favorite people since my school days. His fate and the fight against ME/CFS therefore move me directly. As someone who works in the pharmaceutical industry, I know from experience that even the smallest building block can contribute to something really big. This knowledge motivates me to support the work of the foundation so that research and education can make decisive progress. That is why I am firmly on Christoph’s and the Foundation’s side.
Together, we are on the path to a better life for ME/CFS patients.
Unfortunately, this takes time and does not happen overnight. ME/CFS patients do not simply wake up one day and return to their normal lives.
But there is hope, and we are here to fight for those who can no longer do so themselves. By funding more research and raising awareness, we will achieve our goal.
Step by step.
