To honour the pwme (and
their carers/parents) who are having to endure this biological
illness - whilst the absence of publicly funded biomedical research
into ME is allowed to continue by the
government - Invest in ME has approached Google regarding marking ME
Awareness Day, 12th May, with a special Google Doodle.
Our email -
Please would you consider marking ME Awareness Day 2006
with a
Google Holiday logo commemorating this day.
ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) is a debilitating illness
and 12th
May every year is marked as ME Awareness Day across the
world.
Normally we mark this with a blue ribbon and I am sure
you could
make this into a wonderful Google logo.
Any help in raising awareness of ME would be greatly
appreciated. |
Reply from Google-

Dear Google,
ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) also known as
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) in the USA is a
serious, debilitating illness and 12th May is
recognized annually as its Awareness Day
worldwide.
I am writing to request consideration in marking
ME Awareness Day 2006 with a Google Holiday logo
on May 12th.
ME (CFS) Awareness Day is marked this with a
blue ribbon. It is with confidence that I am
requesting the honor of one of Google's
outstanding logos that day.
Please know, Google assistance's in spreading
the word that ME (CFS) is recognized as a real
and life devastating illness faced by millions
is essential
for the future health of sufferers across the
globe.
Many thanks for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Lee Cohen PhD
