Would you like to run, cook, knit, craft or come up with your own great fundraising idea to help improve the lives of people living with ME/CFS?
Our community (aka ‘MEEPS’ / Jarmy Army) is amazing! In both words and actions, people with ME/CFS demonstrate incredible compassion for fellow sufferers, people more severely impacted than themselves, people who might be isolated by the condition and especially people who are just beginning their journey.
From persuading friends and family to run marathons, to organising sausage sizzles, setting up a family swearbox or by knitting or crafting – our supporters across Australia manage to find ways to raise critical funds for people affected by ME/CFS in Australia.
Emerge Australia has put together a guide with all you need to get started on creating your own fundraiser, including example letters and QR codes that can be built into your campaign. Download today and most importantly have fun!

Create Change for People with ME/CFS
This is the harsh reality for 250,000 Australians living with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), a debilitating illness that affects all body systems including nervous, immune, and cardiovascular systems. Emerge Australia has the privilege of advocating on behalf of these people whose lives have been turned upside down by this condition. Many have gone from vibrant, active lives to needing round-the-clock care, unable to perform even the most basic tasks without assistance.

ME is close to me personally with a very close friend living with the illness day to day who continually demonstrates resilience, positivity and optimism. Feel free to join me along the journey – follow the Instagram page to keep track of location. I plan to do updates around every 10 km.
