A Talented Artist Tumbles Hard
ME is no respecter of persons. It fells anyone at anytime and can strike overnight. The young, the strong, the fit, the healthy – no one is exempt from it.

For ‘Lifers’, those who have lived with ME for 25+ years, it truly is a life sentence. One pays the time without doing the crime. Surviving that long with ME gives one a completely different perspective about so many things!
Letter #4 to be delivered to Ottawa and Minister Jane Philpott 's office this Thursday.
Thanks for sharing your letter with us!

Getting Justice for Justin!
Justin Noble was an advocate for ME health care. Our health care system in Canada failed Justin in the worst of ways. He died October 13, 2016 at just 31 years old.
We dedicate this meeting tomorrow in Ottawa to him.
