Option #1:
-
I’m raising money for the Bateman Horne Center—one of the only nonprofits dedicated to ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, and post-viral illnesses that integrates research, clinical care, and medical education.
That means what’s learned from patients and research is turned into real-world tools that help clinicians better diagnose and care for people devastated by these conditions.

[INSERT GREETING]
I’m raising money for the Bateman Horne Center (BHC), a nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of people living with ME/CFS, fibromyalgia (FM), and post-viral illnesses such as Long COVID.
This organization is important to me because [INSERT YOUR PERSONAL REASON HERE].
Right now, people with ME/CFS, Long COVID, and post-viral illness face three major challenges:
-
Limited access to informed medical care
-
Slow and underfunded research into diagnosis and treatment
-
A lack of education, tools, and support for medical professionals
The Bateman Horne Center is working to close these gaps. Donations support:
-
Educating healthcare providers on effective, evidence-informed diagnosis and treatment
-
Identifying biological markers to improve diagnostic accuracy and speed
-
Studying new tests and treatments to improve quality of life
-
Expanding patient access by hiring additional physicians
-
Sustaining monthly support groups for patients and their care partners
I hope you’ll consider making a tax-deductible donation to support this work. Every contribution helps move us toward our goal of raising $500,000 to expand access to care.
If you’re unable to donate right now, sharing this fundraiser with your family and friends would mean so much.
Thank you for taking the time to read and for any support you’re able to give.
With gratitude,
[YOUR NAME]
