Option #1:

This organization is near and dear to me. Everyone deserves access to informed medical care. Unfortunately, many people with ME/CFS, FM, & post-viral illness are met with disbelief and dismissal. Your donation will help the Bateman Horne Center bridge the gap between informed care and those suffering with these debilitating diseases. Please join me in this cause.

Subject line: Please support my fundraiser for ME/CFS, FM, post-viral illness
[INSERT YOUR GREETING]
I’m raising money for the Bateman Horne Center (BHC), a non-profit dedicated to improving the lives of those with ME/CFS, fibromyalgia (FM), and post-viral illnesses.
This organization is important to me because [INSERT YOUR OWN STATEMENT HERE].
There are three critical gaps in the world of ME/CFS, FM, and post-viral illness:
- Medical Care options are very limited.
- Research on diagnosing and treatment remains underfunded and slow.
- Medical professionals lack specialized education, tools, and institutional support.
Here is a snapshot of what BHC will utilize donations for:
- Identifying biological markers of ME/CFS and FM to increase the speed and accuracy of diagnosis and effective treatment.
- Studying new tests and treatments to improve the lives of those with ME/CFS and FM.
- Hiring an additional physician to increase their patient treatment capacity.
- Closing the gap in medical care by providing education to healthcare professionals on effective diagnosis and treatment options.
- Sustaining monthly support groups for patients and their care partners.
Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to the Bateman Horne Center this year. Every contribution matters, and your donation will be triple matched up to $125k.
If you are unable to donate at this time please considering sharing this with your family and friends.
Thank you,
[YOUR NAME]
