Thanks to the wonderful support ME Research UK has received we have a Pledge Pot of £14,943 available to match-fund donations received during the Christmas Challenge which runs from 1st to 8th December 2026.
During that week donations to our research work via the Big Give site will be DOUBLED from our Pledge Pot until the pot of £14,943 has been drained. IF we are chosen by a Charity Champion then they will add a further match-funding pot of £14,943 which can be drawn upon meaning, potentially, £29,886 will be match-funded.
How does it work?
How Will Funds be used?
All funds received to the Big Give Christmas Challenge will be invested in biomedical research into the causes, consequences and treatment of ME/CFS globally. 2024’s proceeds helped fund Dr Sarah Annesley’s research entitled ‘Do microRNAs regulate platelet activation and metabolic dysfunction in women with ME/CFS?‘ Of course, the difference a grant makes is not confined to funding research alone but has the effect of supporting the research unit and creating a research-base for future work. 2025’s allocation has yet to be announced ……
