Just Four Quid was a year-long, daily blog fundraising campaign for biomedical research into the neuro-immune disease ME/CFS. It ran from May 2009 to May 2010, giving weekly moneysaving tips and asking people to donate part of the savings they made to ME Research UK and the ME Association’s Ramsay Research Fund.
The campaign is over but those charities are still going strong and need your support! You can still use the moneysaving tips to help you afford to donate – just take a look at the blog archive ( and this link selects the weekly posts with the main moneysaving idea for that week).
Our JustGiving pages will remain open for donations until 1 May 2011 (here’s the MERUK page and here’s the Ramsay Research Fund page); you can also donate directly to the charities’ offices (see MERUK’s and the RRF’s site, respectively).
There’s more background on the Just Four Quid campaign – and why it is so important to donate to ME/CFS research – here.
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!
