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.Â
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!
