New Research Will Benefit Four Million Americans Suffering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

people whose lives have been affected by the illness," said Kimberly McCleary, president and CEO of the CFIDS Association. "Patients, their family, friends and doctors stepped up to give donations large and small to fuel the research initiative."

"While support from individual American citizens is vital for research progress," McCleary noted, "more funding from the government, from biotech firms and from the pharmaceutical industry is desperately needed. CFS affects more Americans than many other well-known diseases, but receives far less research funding."

About the CFIDS Association of America

The CFIDS Association was founded in 1987 to stimulate high-quality CFS research, improve the ability of health care professionals to diagnose and manage the illness, provide educational information for patients and their families, and build widespread public awareness of CFS. The organization has invested more than $26 million in research, education and public policy and is the largest charitable funder and advocate of CFS research in the U.S.
