On a lighter note: The parents of severely ill Marie Louise, Vibeke and Esben, are finalists in Denmark's Patient Award in the category Firebrand, for their ME activism. Public voting open until 31 May.
I voted from outside Denmark and it seems my vote was counted. Vibeke and Esben's entry showed top left on the voting page for me (but check their names and the word ME-Foreningen feature in the description, in case the site presents the options randomly). If you wish to vote, first select "Stem på" and then select the bigger button "Stem".

ETA: Link: http://sundhedsparlamentet.dk/afstemninger.php?2018 (don't know why the link says 2018 when vote is in 2019)Vibeke Ilsøe and Esben Gustavussen, volunteers in the ME Association
Vibeke Ilsøe and Esben Gustavussen have as members of the ME Association managed to create health policy and media attention about the disease ME (chronic fatigue syndrome), which approx. 14,000 Danes are affected. After their daughter was hit by ME, Vibeke and Esben have thoroughly studied the disease and made a unique effort for ME patients in Denmark. They have managed to focus on ME through ongoing articles in Ugeavisen Esbjerg. They have been contacted by Regional Chairman Stephanie Lose, who has promised to raise the level of ME patients. They have inspired a local initiative that collects money to get a Norwegian ME expert to Esbjerg to speak for nursing staff, mayor, medical center, etc. and update them on a disease they had only scant knowledge about. Last, but not least, they have achieved talk time for the Health and Elderly Committee at Christiansborg. With their fight against ME, Vibeke and Esben have created a paradigm shift in the understanding of the disease - confirmed by the Parliament's unanimous adoption of a new approach to the disease ME 14 March 2019.
The judging panel emphasized Vibeke and Esben's great commitment and many approaches to making a difference.
Their efforts for the disease have been an inspiration to many others with ME.
