The May Momentum logo is in the center of the image. Below the logo, the phrase 'You are the Motivation behind our Momentum' is positioned. The background of the graphic features a light blue color.

Every May, Open Medicine Foundation (OMF) unites with supporters around the world to honor International ME/CFS Awareness Day on May 12—a powerful moment to stand with millions affected by this devastating disease. 

Through our May Momentum campaign, we come together to accelerate research, expand medical education, and raise global awareness for ME/CFS.

With your invaluable support, OMF is rapidly advancing the search for effective treatments and a reliable diagnostic tool.

🔬We’re advancing over 35 active research projects to uncover the underlying mechanisms of ME/CFS and identify effective treatments.

🩺 In partnership with Bateman Horne Center, our Medical Education Resource Center (MERC) has educated 15,000+ healthcare professionals in 89 countries, helping build a more informed, compassionate medical community.

This May Momentum, you can help accelerate this work.

Here’s how YOU can make a difference:
