ME advocates you can endorse (=vote for) in the WegoHealth awards 2018

[Tom Kindlon]

I thought I would open a thread on this as I'm aware of a number of people who have been nominated.

Also votes numbered in the hundreds seem to have been enough to get into the final so it's not unachievable for people to become a finalist.

For example, some people I recall who were finalists in previous years were:
Jane Colby
Alem Matthees (he wouldn't be well enough to promote himself this year)
Jennie Spotila
myself (three times)

You can endorse as many people as you like

I nominated:

Jennifer Brea

Mary Dimmock

but they don't seem to have set up a page so far.

I've endorsed @Tom Kindlon for the Lifetime Achievement category. It's easy and quick to do. It looks as though endorsements can be repeated daily, with each contributing to the nominee's total. The competition runs until mid-August.

Thanks very much for all the support. I have now reached 400 endorsements (=votes). The number is going up a lot slower now but based on past experience* I already have enough votes to have a good chance of being a finalist.

*Though they have added an endorsement button for blogs this year while I don't have one

Thanks so much for the kindness and support, Tom, and for helping to spread the word about endorsements! I appreciate this thread because it helped me to endorse all the other ME/CFS candidates!

Thanks for this, Tom, and all you do!
