<div><strong>Imagine vanishing.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>One day, you are living your life—working, running, laughing. The next, your body pulls the emergency brake. You don't just feel tired; you feel like your cells have run out of energy. You are trapped in a body that punishes you for moving, for thinking, even for breathing.
</div>
<div>This is ME/CFS (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis). And for millions of people, this is not just a bad day. <em>It is a life/death sentence.</em>
</div>

</div>
<div><strong>The Invisible Agony</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am raising funds to break the silence surrounding one of the most severe, yet ignored, diseases in modern history.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The data is shocking:
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>Quality of Life:</strong> Studies show ME/CFS patients have a lower health-related quality of life than patients with Stroke, Lung Cancer, or Multiple Sclerosis.
</li>
<li><strong>The Burden:</strong> Approx. 25% of patients are housebound or bedbound. Some have lived in total darkness for decades.
</li>
<li><strong>The Economic Cost:</strong> ME/CFS and Long COVID cost the US economy an estimated $200–$400 Billion annually, yet research funding is virtually non-existent.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why We Need You Now</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Despite the severity, ME/CFS receives pennies in funding compared to diseases with similar burdens.
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>HIV/AIDS:</strong> ~$3,000 Million funding/year
</li>
<li><strong>ME/CFS:</strong> ~$15 Million funding/year (That is ~0.5%)
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>We cannot wait for governments to wake up. We have to wake them up.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The Plan: Operation Visibility</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am raising money to fund a high-impact, aggressive awareness campaign. I want to make ME/CFS impossible to ignore.
</div>
<div>Your donation will fund:
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>Billboards &amp; Outdoor Advertising: </strong>Placing high-visibility ads in major city centers. We want the public to see the reality of the "Missing Millions."
</li>
<li><strong>Social Media Blitz:</strong> Paid placements and partnerships with influencers to reach the younger generation and bypass traditional media gatekeepers.
</li>
<li><strong>TV &amp; Streaming Spots:</strong> Producing professional, cinematic commercials that showcase the harsh reality of this illness to a mainstream audience.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How You Can Help</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>Donate:</strong> Every dollar buys ad space. $10 buys Instagram reach; $100 contributes to a billboard.
</li>
<li><strong>Share:</strong> Post this campaign on your story. Send it to 5 friends.
</li>
<li><strong>Speak Up:</strong> Use the graphics on this page. Show the world the numbers.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The science exists. The patients exist. The only thing missing is the funding to make the world see.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Join the fight. Bring them back to life.</strong>
</div>

</div>
<div><strong>... did you know?</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>​ME/CFS affects an estimated 1.5 to 2.5 million Americans (and at least 40 millions worldwide). Germany recently counted more than half a million sufferers which more than 1 in 200 people.
</div>
<div>​Long COVID has triggered ME/CFS in countless new patients, making this more urgent than ever.
</div>
<div>​<strong>There is currently zero FDA-approved treatment</strong>
