…blue? With a bit of yellow? Or red?
I didn’t know, when I planned to blog on the “Week of the Future” in our final week that we’d be having a general election, let alone a hung parliament. The drama!
The only thing that we can be sure of is that things are about to change; and since we haven’t seen any government funding of biomedical research for ME/CFS over the years, a change in government opens up an opportunity for things to be done differently.
Of course, the economic situation is dire, but surely that’s all the more reason to spend a few million to get billions back in taxes and saved benefits as we all get cured and rush back to work? And among all these new MPs, surely there’ll be some who have family members with ME/CFS and who will want to help make that happen?
So, I think the future is bright. I just don’t have a clue what colour it is (though I think William Hill are open for business).
Progress report up next, and then my final post…
Money I’ve raised today: £0.00
Money I’ve raised so far: £911.52 (see my personal Justgiving pages via the links at the bottom of the sidebar, plus some I accidentally put on the communal pages!)
During a year's blog, now finished, I offered a new moneysaving tip each week, asking readers to donate part of any saving direct to biomedical research charities
The grand total raised during (and shortly after!) the campaign was £15,441 consisting of £10,779 for MERUK and £4,662 for the RRF, including all Justgiving pages and offline donations direct to the charities. Keep on giving!
