In honor of ME/CFS and FM Awareness members of the community, BHC staff and Board submitted a picture of their message of hope to fellow community members and empty shoes.
The shoes represent individuals missing from elements of their pre-illness life. We created a video montage of these pictures with background music and a slide show as an alternate viewing option for viewers sensitive to video. The slide show allows you to advance the images at your own pace.
