Millions of people live with ME/CFS, many of whom are bedridden. Research is their only hope – and your donation makes it possible. 100 per cent goes towards research, as administrative costs are already covered.
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 severe, chronic illness that prevents those affected from working, studying, or taking care of themselves. It can affect anyone at any age, often following an infection.
The WHO estimates that at least 17 million people worldwide have ME/CFS (as of before the pandemic). Current estimates from professional associations suggest that more than 40 million people are affected.

Gründer von Atelier KarasinskiLaura, a creative person of many talents, actively contributes to Guardians4ME by photographing portraits of our team. She has a long-standing friendship with Christoph, and thanks to her generous donation of time and talent, we have benefited from her creative output. This has allowed us to focus on building the WE&ME Foundation.
Julia Scheve, BSc
Gründer von pink'n'blueJulia, is a management consultant and fitness trainer based in Vienna. She witnessed her best friend Christoph decline due to ME/CFS and now supports the WE&ME Foundation by helping to raise awareness of the disease.
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 on the path to a better life for ME/CFS patients.
Unfortunately, this takes time and does not happen overnight. ME/CFS patients do not simply wake up one day and return to their normal lives.
But there is hope, and we are here to fight for those who can no longer do so themselves. By funding more research and raising awareness, we will achieve our goal.
Step by step.
Every donation, no matter the size, fuels critical research and brings us one step closer to a cure.
