An ex-professional ballet dancer is using his art to raise awareness of a chronic disease. It’s one that affects around 17 million people worldwide, including him.
....
Sri Lankan born and Dutch bred ex-ballet dancer Anil van der Zee has been supporting this campaign. After a viral infection ended his career in 2007, van der Zee was later diagnosed with ME. But even though the disease has left him incapacitated for much of the time, he’s now using his love of art to raise awareness of ME. So, The Canary caught up with van der Zee, to discuss the millions of missing people, ME, and how one disease changed his life forever.

- I’ll be damned to see another few generations of promising dancers, artists, athletes etc. being wasted merely because of politics. It needs to stop. My hope is that patients and allies will have the strength to keep telling the truth about this disease until we need to do no more. We are making progress. We are getting there. Please hold on.

Steve Topple at the Canary has done a load of Millions Missing stories now. Thanks to him.

This is what wikipedia says about readership there:

During July 2016, The Canary achieved over 7.5 million page views, ranking 97th in readership among British media organisations, slightly higher than The Spectator and The Economist. The site's publishers, Canary Media, rose 47 spots from 126th in June to 79th in July among the top UK publishers.[48] The majority of its site traffic comes from Facebook.[5]
 
Thank you so much for your kind words. It's quite amazing The Canary keeps coming up with articles that are accurate. There was not a moment where I was scared Steve Topple would maybe misinterpret something. It turned out to be a great article.
