Millions of people live with ME/CFS, many confined to their homes or beds for decades. Research is our best hope, and your donation helps make it possible. Because our administrative costs are already covered, 100% of every donation goes directly to research.
Even with a monthly donation of €5, you can help those affected in the long term and support vital research.
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a serious, life-altering disease that can leave people unable to work, study, care for themselves, or even leave their bed. It affects people of all ages and often develops after an infection.
Based on a prevalence of approximately 0.4% to 0.8%, an estimated 32 to 65 million people worldwide are living with ME/CFS. Despite its enormous impact, there are still no approved treatments, and the disease remains dramatically underfunded and underresearched.

Kathrin Fuchs
My name is Kathrin, and my support for the WE&ME Foundation is deeply personal. Christoph has been one of my favorite people since my school days. His fate and the fight against ME/CFS therefore move me directly. As someone who works in the pharmaceutical industry, I know from experience that even the smallest building block can contribute to something really big. This knowledge motivates me to support the work of the foundation so that research and education can make decisive progress. That is why I am firmly on Christoph’s and the Foundation’s side.
Together, we are building a better future for people with ME/CFS.
Together, we can advance research, accelerate progress, and bring effective treatments and, ultimately, a cure closer. Patients are at the heart of everything we do.
Step by step.
Every donation, no matter the size, fuels critical research and brings us one step closer to a cure.
