Maybe 2018 IS going to be a breakthrough year. The exciting $1 million Pineapple fund donation to the Open Medicine Foundation was just topped by a $4 million donation. That’s $5 million new dollars going into ME/CFS research and Ron Davis’s hands in just the first 30 days or so of 2018.
Not only that; it appears that the $5 million is the biggest Pineapple fund donation yet. That’s a shocker given how many charities applied for the funds. Whoever “Pine” is, he/she clearly get’s it about ME/CFS.

I am very happy to hear about this donation!
I noticed the donation was given in bitcoin.
Does anyone know if the donation has been transferred to US currency, so that the value can’t fluxuate over time?
Thank you

This is really great! Than you to the donor! I hope Dr Naviaux gets some funding out of this to support his research too.
Amazing! Very happy 🙂
The money is in good hands with the OMF.
Great to see these donations going to a great cause! Fantastic research by Ron Davis’s.

My understanding is that it was immediately translated into dollars.
