I have worked w/ Laurie 4+ years. One strength of #MEAction is always empowering the individual & helping us come together to do more than we have ever seen happen before. Laurie excels at empowering those around her. You might not see it but you have been seeing the results.

Lack of Dr education is why, though Im mostly homebound, I go to each appointment for my son! A parent that isn't educated about #mecfs would have no clue graded exercise therapy could make long covid worse! If I hadn't just protested with #meaction I'd take to the streets 😡

We are so excited to have Laurie Jones as the Executive Director of #MEAction! Laurie is empathetic, dedicated, & laser-focused on the needs of the ME community. She is also a brilliant manager and community-builder. I can't imagine a more perfect person to lead the organization.
