Hi everyone,

The Chase Contest on Facebook starts today, and you can vote every day for 10 charities. Of course, I'm hoping we'll all just cast a vote every morning for the WPI... I have ME, and these people are working so hard for us to find the cure not only for me, but also all the other Neuro-Immune disease.

The Whittemore Peterson Institute for Neuro- Immune Disease exists to bring discovery, knowledge, and effective treatments to patients with illnesses that are caused by acquired dysregulation of both the immune system and the nervous system, often resulting in life long disease and disability. WPI is working to bring ground-breaking translational research into neuro-immune diseases such as M.E.,CFS, Autism, GWS, Chronic Lyme, Fibromyalgia and more.

There are millions of us world-wide who will benefit from the work the WPI is doing, and yet it is up to us to provide the funds to keep them going. Because they showed some establishment figures to be wrong about ME, they've had the establishment gunning for them, there's been a lot of bad press about XMRV being contamination (it isn't, and no study has ever proved it was in the WPI or the National Institute of Health Labs.

Go to this page www.facebook.com/ChaseCommunityGiving and 'like' it. Then either put Whittemore Peterson in the search box, or use this link chasecommunitygiving.contextoptional.com/charities/205904991-whittemore-peterson-institute-fo to get to the voting page.

Since I usually surf in Safari, and just use Firefox for Chase and Causes, I'm not worried about the settings, but if you use Firefox all the time, don't forget to uncheck that box accepting third party cookies before you go on to commercial sites.

Chase Community Giving

"JPMorgan Chase has given more than $100 million to nonprofit organizations every year for the past five years, focusing on community development, education, and arts and culture. The bank strives to be a catalyst to meaningful, positive, and sustainable change within high-need neighborhoods and communities across the globe. It also supports employee efforts through matching gift and volunteer programs. Earlier this year, Chase provided over 500,000 local organizations with a national platform to promote their missions, attract new supporters, and gain visibility with more than 2 million Chase Community Giving fans.

At the end of the program, we gave away $5 million to charities all over the country, including a grand prize donation of $1 million to Invisible Children to help children in Uganda. Now, with your help, we?re ready to do it again"

Help find the answer to neuro-immune diseases with just one click a day!

I got something wrong here. You only get ten votes, and you can vote ten times for ten different charities. Then that's it. You don't get new votes every day. :blush:

We are at no. 4, and likely to get through to the second round which runs from 19th to 26th May. Please help this worthy cause!

Reasons why you should support the WPI on Chase Community Giving: The WPI is the only institute in the world who is dedicated to looking for a cure for neuro-immune diseases such as ME, MS, Autism, fibromyalgia and Gulf War Syndrome.
The WPI is the only institute that is researching Gulf War Syndrome to give our forces the treatment and respect they deserve
The WPI is the only scientists who are pushing Governments for more research and more funding for neuroimmune disease TODAY
The WPI is the only team who are making breakthroughs in preventing and treating Lymphoma, Prostate Cancer and Human Herpes Viruses implicated in some forms of cancer
The WPI are independent, they are free to follow the most promising lines of enquiry, even if that goes against the current thinking.
The WPI need our support to finish their work. Vested interests are strangling public funding for them.
The WPI have already built a new, state of the art research lab and clinic, they are ready to do ground breaking translational research into neuro-immune disease.
The WPI need our help so they can help find the cure for millions of people.

Anyone can be struck down with MS, ME or lymphoma. You could be next and find there is little funding for your disease. Help us today to win much needed funding on facebook for the Whittemore Peterson Institute.

If you don't want to compromise your information by allowing Chase in to your facebook account, make another one with a new email! Here's how to do it.

1. Create a new free email account to use with facebook so there is no chance of compromising your existing email account. There are loads of suppliers, hotmail yahoo and gmail are the biggest.
   email.about.com/od/freeemailreviews/tp/free_email.htm

2. Create a Facebook page. You need a first name and a last name, but it does not have to be your real first and last name. If Facebook requires info you don't want to give, just make up a fictional answer. Just make sure you give a working email address, because they will verify that.

Thanks for reading this (if anyone is - I do feel rather alone here ) and if you can, please share with your friends. xxx clouty xxx

Round two of Chase Giving is underway now on. Voting is much easier in this round. You can sign in, like Chase and vote, all on the same page. You can vote from anywhere in the world. [url]chasecommunitygiving.contextoptional.com/charities/205904991-whittemore-peterson-institute-fo[/url] In the first round, we had to hunt round to find Chase and like it before we could vote. So that's good.

The WPI are in eighth place. We have to twist some arms! I mean, how hard is it to make a couple of clicks?

Don't forget that you can have an anonymous fb page, if you set up a new email. If everyone that has voted WPI just got one more person to vote, we would be in the lead. This is no time to be a shrinking violet - or have a broken computer, as was the case for me since Wednesday, until this morning.

Aaaarrrgh! We have 2 days and 18 hours from the time of this post to get this thing moving. Please, please help, click and vote and tell your friends. Why? Here's a couple of short videos:

Please help by voting, and telling your Facebook friends. It only takes a minute or two. There are millions suffering with neuro-immune disease, at present without a cure, which the WPI are already a long way towards finding. Vote Whittemore Peterson Institute!
