Who's Who.... and
Unite to Fight!
RMCFA in this and upcoming issues will be featuring people of the front lines of advocacy, education, research, and patient care, in what we feel is an important effort to speak with one voice and unite the CFS/ME & Fibromyalgia community.
We believe that change and a cure will only happen if we
Unite to Fight!.
We are proud to introduce Cort Johnson as our first front line advocate. Cort, a decades long CFS patient (and patient advocate) publishes the "Phoenix Rising" website which features research, news and an online community where some of the smartest people in the community gather to share thier stories, views and news.
Cort, a frequent visitor to most advocate events, the latest at last month's CFSAC meeting, has published research articles and updates for many organizations including CAA's Chronicle. Our personal favorite here at RMCFA is the "The XMRV Buzz! - the CFS/ XMRV News Page where Cort keeps everyone up to date on the latest on XMRV and related topics. He is also out with his latest blog, "Bringing the Heat: An ME/CFS Blog".
If you would like to see Cort in action, see his video testimony at the CFSAC meeting on October 13, 2010... (You will need to click on "public comment - speaker 9" on the lower left side) Stop by Phoenix Rising and let Cort know how much you appreciate how much he is doing for the community.
