Ask your local media to raise awareness

VLD Action Item #5

TAKE ACTION

Your local media can help spread the word about the impact, severity and prevalence of CFS. Direct them to information resources and ask them to bring greater understanding to the public. Tell your story as an inspiration to reporters to cover the issue. We've added facts and figures to help affirm the effect of CFS on your community.

You can check out all the recent coverage of CFS in the media at http://www.cfids.org/sparkcfs/media-coverage.asp. See how individuals like you, talking about their experiences, help raise awareness and deepen understanding.

Just click "Take Action," enter your zip code and say as much or as little as you'd like about how CFS has affected your life.
