Open Medicine Foundation

Please add the Open Medicine Foundation to Twitch Charity.

From their website:

"Our disease focus includes Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), Long COVID, Post-Treatment Lyme Disease, and Fibromyalgia.

"We have facilitated and funded the establishment of 7 collaborative centers across the globe, in 4 countries and 3 continents. These centers are dedicated to diagnosing, treating, and ultimately curing these related chronic, complex diseases.

"Open Medicine Foundation is a US based global nonprofit, with an affiliate organization in Canada (OMF Canada) and a foreign branch in Australia (OMF Australia Ltd). Our 19 member Scientific Advisory Board is world renowned and includes two Nobel laureates and 6 National Academy of Sciences members."

The work the OMF does is imperative for those suffering with these conditions.

    I am a sufferer of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and I would love to see the Open Medicine Foundation added to Twitch charity! As a streamer, I would love to be able to do a charity stream with the OMF and having them on Twitch would make it a dream come true. They are such great advocators for people like me, who often feel like we do not have a voice of our own.

    100% should be added. As someone with Fibromyalgia and who knows those who struggle with ME and Long COVID, I know how debilitating these conditions can be. Research for them is absolutely invaluable and extremely underfunded!

    This would be an awesome addition!
