Help Nick Find a Way out of ME / CFS: a Bar Mitzvah Helps Raise Research Funds

Awesome 13-year-old Brent Gelick, one of our younger Team OMF heros, set a goal to raise $500 for his Bar Mitzvah project in honor of his friend Nick who suffers from ME / CFS. With the encouragement and support of his caring mother Dana, Brent has exceeded his goal raising over $1,000! We are grateful to Brent, his family and friends for joining the OMF family in support of the End ME / CFS project.
