I am BlushingCrafter, and I am a streamer on Twitch.tv. In May this year I did a week of awareness and charity streams to support Open Medicine Foundation in their ME / CFS research. Streaming is a passion of mine, and since I know the struggles of having ME / CFS because I have it myself, I wanted to raise awareness and help others learn about what ME / CFS is.
Several people came into my channel during this event, and were curious and open to learning about what it is like to have ME / CFS. I would do this again in a heartbeat, and plan on keeping on with the raising awareness and fundraising in the future.
