Just Four Quid: Raising money for ME/CFS biomedical research!

http://www.JustFourQuid.com is a daily blog that offers a new moneySAVING tip each week and asks you to donate PART of any saving you make to biomedical research charities ME Research UK and the ME Association's Ramsay Research Fund. For example, if one week's tip saves you £10, you might donate £5. You donate via their Justgiving.com pages or by phone or mail direct to the charities' offices.

The Just Four Quid campaign aims to raise £1 million in a year for much-needed biomedical (not psychological!) research into this condition. The blog is fun and will even leave you better off, because you save money before you donate some of it! Join in, and please tell everyone you know with ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis)/CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) about it.

The government isn't funding this kind of research so we must help ourselves. There are 250,000 people in the UK with ME/CFS - £1 million is just four quid each!
