May Awareness 2023

Grill'd Unley fundraiser

ME/CFS SA is one of three charities Grill'd is supporting in May.

How it works
Every burger equals a token, to pop in a jar for voting, in person or online.

At the end of May the charity whose jar has the most tokens receives $300. The other charities receive $100 each.

Please let your friends and family know as well. Your support helps us all!

Look for our new sign!

Thank you to SA Power Networks for their continuing support for May awareness month by displaying our poster on their digital billboard throughout May.

Their billboard, on the major intersection of Greenhill Road and Anzac Highway, is seen by thousands of commuters each day. It is the fourth busiest intersection in South Australia.

#MillionsMissing online local event

Date: Thursday 11 May

Time: 3:30pm-4:30pm

Zoom link: Go to Member Resources > Links to Upcoming Events > Weekly Social Catch-up

This year the international theme is 'beds' representing the millions of people with ME/CFS who need urgent access to care, support and research.

Come along prepared to talk about the most important thing you own that makes your bed or bedroom more comfortable.

Wear your #MillionsMissing t-shirt or a red top. If you don't have any red, then try for the traditional blue to represent ME/CFS and SA's Forget-ME-Not logo.

If this is all too difficult, please join us anyway!

If you would like to join us, but are not yet a member, membership is only $5.

Media release

Please contact us if you would like to pass on our media release to your local politicians, media outlets and other influencers. We can also provide a one-page briefing paper on ME/CFS. Every action counts.
