I am a disabled Desert STorm veteran with many of the chronic illnesses that PANDORA raises awareness for. I have had CFS and fibromyalgia since i was in Desert STorm. In 2005, i looked on the internet for an organization that advocates for sick Desert Storm vets. This one was the closest one i could find. They gave me advice and support by email and phone. I moved down to South Florida in 2007. BEfore my health took a downturn, i advocated for the foundation on Facebook and Twitter. Marly Silverman, the philanthropist and creator of this organization, also suffers from CFS. She works tirelessly and endlessly , going to meetings with doctors, government agencies, Congress, etc,. She organizes petitions, sets up fundraisers, anything you can think of, she does it.
