Chase Community Giving: Vote for WPI!



Chase Community Giving is holding a charity contest offering a share in $2,500,000 to the 100 charities that receive the most votes from Facebook fans. The Whittemore Peterson Institute (WPI) for Neuro-Immune Diseases is one of the charities vying for votes and they need our support! 

WPI is a vital organization to the CFS and fibromyalgia community that drives significant research, awareness, and advances in patient care.  With enough funds, the institute provides hope for the discovery of definitive diagnostics, treatments, and even a cure for these life-altering diseases.  WPI’s work also contributes to advances in the understanding of other neuro-immune diseases, including autism and Lyme’s disease.
