The Exhibit features the portraits and stories of ME/CFS patients, family members, and health care professionals - and demonstrates that ME/CFS affects people of all ages in all walks of life. ME/CFS patients whose portraits are featured include Brian Bernard, Rich Carson, Wilhelmina Jenkins, Jacqueline Niederle, Meaghan Peterson, Kathy Rabin, Adrianne Ryan, and Vivian Treves. ME/CFS clinical researchers Dr. Anthony Komaroff and Dr. David Bell are also featured.
The Spark! site also offers a great deal of information about and for ME/CFS patients, such as a collection of personal stories.
