The CFIDS Association of America has been making a difference in the lives of people with CFS for well over two decades. Through their efforts in educating patients, caregivers and health care professionals, their commitment to extensive national research initiatives, and the more recent establishment of a patient biobank, the Association has made a meaningful impact on CFS and has laid the foundation for future progress. I appreciate the commitment to good solid science in all aspects of carrying out their mission, and I'm optimistic that the Association will continue to play a primary role in solving CFS. The bulk of my charitable giving goes to this outstanding organization, and I'm confident that the CFIDS Association of America is making the most of my investment.
