    To er … celebrate the 25th anniversary of the fluey virus that soon became severe ME on 27th June and my birthday on 22nd, I am fundraising for ME research UK.

    I posted early so friends who might otherwise have got me a present could donate but was blown away when it reached target in a day and I hadnt finished publicising it, I increased it - not to ask previous donors for more but anyone who hadnt and might like to contribute.

    I hope this is the right place to post it!

    Do you know if this fundraising website accepts PayPal?

    Just using the link Von provided above, I click through:

    Donate now> amount > message (or skip) > payment page (where PayPal is offered)

    I wonder whether payment options depend on where you are in the world?

    That appears to be the case. @Forestvon this is a great idea, and I'm glad to see you're so close to your goal! I figure that it's worth celebrating when a long termer manages to hang in there for so long.:):):hug:

    thanks, Linda. I think it helps to raise awareness as well as funds
    Many longer term than I am, sadly, especially those who got it young.
