Connection to OMF

In 2013, Karin came down with ME / CFS and was seriously ill. She has since become an active supporter of OMF on Facebook, including fundraisers for OMF. She has been the subject of a book on ME / CFS (in Swedish) titled “Invisible ill – while life passes,” and although she can no longer write herself, she has the active support of her family and the ME / CFS community in helping OMF fund research to end this disease.

We certainly know that with Karin’s broad popularity in her native Sweden, as well as in Norway, Denmark, and Finland, OMF’s reach and message of hope in Scandinavia will be sure to grow.
