Ribbon for the 

Awareness of 

Myalgic 

Encephalomyelitis.

The B.R.A.M.E. campaign is taking ME/CFS into many countries worldwide creating a greater awareness and understanding of this very debilitating illness.  To order to shed more light on ME/CFS, for the twelfth consecutive year, May 12 has been designated as International ME Awareness Day to commemorate the birth date of Florence Nightingale the British nurse who inspired the founding of the International Red Cross. She apparently contracted a paralysing ME/CFS -like illness in her mid fifties and spent the last fifty years of her life virtually bed ridden. Despite her illness, Florence Nightingale managed to found the first ever school of Nursing. May 12 ME/CFS Awareness Day was initiated by Tom Hennessey, President of RESCIND, USA.

The Country Network was originally distributor for BRAME in Australia. As this is not now functioning more information about BRAME can be obtained from the CFS/ME Society of Victoria or the Toowoomba CFS/ME Society of QLD. More information about these ME Societies can be found on Moira's web site.
