This is a great opportunity to help biomedical cfs/me research just by voting wherever you are in the world.The charity with the most votes wins the £2000 prize.In order to vote online you will need to be logged in with a valid Facebook, Twitter or Google account. When you vote Direct Debit will use your email address and IP address for the purpose of ensuring your vote is valid and to prevent multiple votes being logged.
