Spotlight on CFS
JillGriffin was
a force to be reckoned
with. With a 12-4 record in 2000, this young, talented softball player was on
top of her game. However, Jill wasn’t on the pitcher’s mound for her 2001 and
2002 seasons. Visit
www.cfids.org/about/jill.asp to
find out more about her inspiring story and how Jill was able to use her love
for softball to help others fighting
CFIDS.
Lobby Day excitement is building!
100
CFIDS advocates will gather in Washington, DC
September 17 -18 for the Association’s 12th annual Lobby Day event.
Participants will educate their Members of Congress about
CFIDS and ask for their help in securing an
increased federal response to this debilitating illness.
Lobby Day offers
CFIDS
advocates (typically patients, their family members and friends) an opportunity
to tell their stories, ask for the things that will further our cause and take
action against an illness that has had a tremendous impact on their lives.
Next month’s CFIDS Link will
bring you an update on what we accomplished.
Annual Fund
The
CFIDS Association’s 2003 Annual Fund ramps back
up in late September. Every gift counts and every dollar makes a difference. So
make your gift today — online, through our secure server — and it goes even
further.
First, your tax-deductible donation will be put to immediate
