Living with an invisible illness is more than just suffering through the pain, endless doctor appointments and treatments, and the frustration that comes when no relief is in sight.  More importantly, it is how you deal with these life-changing diseases, how you learn to cope and how you reach out to help others.  In short, how you survive. 

Chronic Fatigue Research France is pleased to announce the creation of the Heart of a Survivor Award.

We have been blessed to meet many wonderful people in our years of work with Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Immune Deficiency Syndrome and related illnesses.  Some of them have given of themselves to educate, to advocate, to support others, to write, to organize groups and seminars, to speak out, to research and to find ways to help themselves and others.  It is these special people, we honor.
