Workwell Foundation
Dear Friend,
This Holiday Season, we invite you to stand with Workwell Foundation in our mission to improve the lives of people living with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), Long COVID, and other fatigue-related illnesses. Your support fuels groundbreaking research, innovative testing, and vital education for patients, providers, and advocates.
This past year, thanks to your generosity, we’ve made remarkable strides:
Advancing Research
- Lived Experience: Published Self-Reported Disablement in People Living with Long COVID and ME/CFS. Read more here.
- Clinical Case Report: Published Blood Flow to the Head in a Person with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome During Post-Exertional Malaise. Read more here.
Educating Future Clinicians
- Medical Standards: Contributed to the inclusion of a dedicated chapter on ME/CFS in the American College of Sports Medicine’s Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription. Read more here.
- Professional Training: Published Clinical Management of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome as a Curriculum Thread to Meet Accreditation Standards in Physical Therapy Education. Read more here.
Advocacy
- Scientific Advocacy: Contributed a Nature Communications letter — “Post-exertional malaise in ME/CFS is not explained by altered effort perception or deconditioning”. Read more here.
- "In the Long Run, Misleading Participants Will Harm More Than Help in Long COVID Research". Read more here.
Together, these achievements bring hope and validation to thousands living with disabling PEM. But there is still much to do. With your gift, we can continue to expand research, provide life-changing testing, and advocate for those whose voices are too often unheard.
Please consider making a tax-deductible donation today and help us carry this momentum forward. Every gift makes a difference.
With gratitude,
The Workwell Foundation Team
