Beth Mazur, who co-founded #MEAction was a kind and compassionate human being. She cared deeply about the ME and the Long COVID communities. She also cared deeply about innovation, new creative ways to solve problems that haven’t been solved.
Before Beth’s passing, one of the things she was focusing her time and energy on was the development of a scientific prize for ME research. The idea was to reward new advancements in research or medical treatments, in order to encourage more scientists to the field and amplify good achievements that benefit people with ME. Prizes are common in other disease spaces and ME needs and deserves the same kind of attention.
Because of Beth’s devotion to a scientific prize for ME and of her hope that innovative ideas would change the ME landscape, #MEAction has decided to launch the Beth Mazur Innovation Prize.
To keep both of Beth's dream's alive, #MEAction and a prize fund, 50% of all donations today will go to the prize itself and 50% to operations for #MEAction.
Please donate today.
