Guest guest Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 This notice is to keep everyone informed of the final outcome of Orla, Ruth and Tom's Standing Order Appeal - an offer to boost any new standing orders to ME Research UK with a one-off payment of £5. After making contact with many ME support groups up and down Britain, Orla, Ruth and Tom's efforts have blossomed, and 29 new standing orders have been activated thanks to their appeal. As they say: " The charity receives no funding from the government and is relying totally on charitable donations to help them fund their research. Getting regular income from standing orders can make it easier for ME Research UK to plan for the future. Biomedical research will help us unravel what is happening physically to people with ME, and the updated list of projects can be seen at http://www.meresearch.org.uk/research/projects/index.html . We feel, as people who have been sick for 7, 15 and 17 years, respectively, that the sort of research that ME Research UK funds offers us the best hope for our futures, and is the best antidote to disbelieving doctors and family members. " They want to thank everyone who supported this appeal. As promised Orla, Tom and Ruth have now made their donation of £5 for every new standing order set up, or £145 alltogether. Our grateful thanks go to them and the 29 new supporters who have heeded their call!
