A new ME/CFS fund raising campaign has been launched.

The ME/CFS Pocket Money Research Fund is aimed directly at those who have the most to gain from an increase in research on this terribly debilitating disease, the sufferers themselves, their family and friends. This is a time of great economic challenge for all, and most particularly on we who have already paid such a high economic price for our illness. The fact remains, however, if we don't act, we must wait years more in the HOPE that someone else will.

For those who are tired of waiting, you can learn more about The ME/CFS Pocket Money Research Fund HERE.

Have you tried live Video Chat: yet? It's totally cool and so easy. To get started:

1. Make a statement like "Anyone interested in video chat?" in the written chat box (it's at the bottom right of the screen). This is a great place to check when you first log onto the site to see who else is around and available to talk.
2. Pre-arrange a meeting with others by setting a time to meet in the Video Chat Room (up to six at a time may use it)
3. Go directly to the Video Chat Room, check in and take your chances that you can join in a session in progress, or start one yourself by waiting around a bit.

If you don't already have a videocam attached to your computer, you can buy both new and used Logitech QuickCams on EBAY.
