The FIVE-DOLLAR CHALLENGE! Send 100 messages of support to our Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ Myalgic Encephalomyelitis gut microbiome researchers by the 9th of November! Since we started global crowdfunding for Drs Lipkin and Hornig, and their team’s ambitious and exciting study, we’ve raised over $140,000! Read here: microbediscovery.org There’ve been over 750 donations, including several individual whoppers of tens of thousands of dollars. Donors have raised money by holding garden fetes, selling books, doing the ice-bucket challenge (brrr!), you name it: all in the interests of research. But we know there’s SO MUCH MORE support out there, and we want the researchers to see it! However much we finally raise, we want Drs Lipkin and Hornig and the team to know how much our community supports them. We want to encourage them and show them our appreciation by racking up the number of donations, and all it takes is $5 - or whatever you can afford. So please join our FIVE-DOLLAR CHALLENGE and help us reach our target of 100 donations to the Microbe Discovery Project by the 9th of November. Let’s show these top researchers and their team that our community appreciates their determination to find the answers to our neglected disease. It’s possible to leave a comment when you donate and you might like to write a message there for them. We’d love it if you posted here as well. Donate through Columbia Universitys secure site: https://giving.columbia.edu/giveonline/?schoolstyle=5881&alloc=21677 Let’s start donating those 5$ and sending our messages of support!
