Many celebrities and politicians have already bitten into a lemon on social media to raise awareness and call for more research into ME\/CFS, including Robert Habeck, Heidi Reichinnek, Ricarda Lang and Johannes Rauch (Austrian Minister of Health). Together with the \u2018Empty Stands\u2019 initiative, football fans and players are now fuelling the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/mecfs-research.org\/en\/fussball\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">#LemonChallengeMECFS<\/span><\/a> and drawing attention to the empty seats of sick fans in stadiums.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sour faces can be seen on all social media channels and are growing every day. With the #LemonChallengeMECFS, the ME\/CFS Research Foundation is generating public attention, raising awareness and collecting donations for ME\/CFS research. Since its launch in December, the #LemonChallengeMECFS has already generated over 65,000 euros in donations. Many celebrities from the worlds of culture, politics and sport have shown their support with a short video. The #LemonChallengeMECFS has been going viral on Instagram, Facebook, X, Threads, LinkedIn, YouTube Shorts and TikTok since the end of last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Updates:<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>On Saturday 15 March 2025, Bundesliga club Werder Bremen held a ME\/CFS matchday campaign for the #LemonChallengeMECFS.

This is what he says about his life with ME\/CFS: &nbsp;<em>\u2018I just check the score on the app. That's all I can physically manage. Unfortunately, activities lasting more than 30 minutes are already too much. When I'm having a good day, I listen to the radio of our active fan scene. But I've only managed that once in the last six months. After that, I had to lie in the dark for two days.\u2019<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More research funding for ME\/CFS<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>More than 40 million people worldwide suffer from the severe, often invisible disease ME\/CFS. In Germany, it is assumed that over 620,000 people are affected. The bite into the lemon is symbolic of the sensory overload of patients - one of the numerous symptoms of this severe multisystem illness. So far, little research has been done on ME\/CFS and there is no causal therapy. The donations from the #LemonChallengeMECFS will go entirely towards research funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joerg Heydecke (ME\/CFS Research Foundation) comments:&nbsp;<em>\u2018We are thrilled and encouraged by the great success of the #LemonChallengeMECFS. We are getting a lot of positive feedback from patients and their families, but also increasingly from celebrities and the general public. With this challenge, we want to draw attention to the medical and social catastrophe of this common but so far under-researched disease. It is incredibly helpful that even football clubs are now taking part in this important campaign. Thank you to everyone who supports the #LemonChallengeMECFS and our work with their actions and donations!<\/em>&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to do the #LemonChallengeMECFS<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Nominees are asked to (symbolically) bite into a lemon and to document their reaction to the extreme irritation of the sense of taste on video. Three more people will be nominated for #LemonChallengeMECFS. The campaign is accompanied by an appeal for donations in favour of ME\/CFS research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are documenting the campaign on our website, providing instructions, showing selected \u2018best of\u2019 videos and the current donation status:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-a89b3969 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/mecfs-research.org\/en\/lemonchallengemecfs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>#LemonChallengeMECFS Website<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/mecfs-research.org\/en\/lemonchallengemecfs-fussball\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>#LemonChallengeMECFS in football<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can you support the work of the ME\/CFS Research Foundation?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>We are committed to ensuring that the diagnosis, care and treatment of ME\/CFS sufferers will one day become the medical and social norm. As the ME\/CFS Research Foundation, we focus on biomedical research, which we see as the key to solving these problems (more on this in <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mecfs-research.org\/en\/fundingstrategy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">our research funding strategy<\/a><\/span> and in our <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mecfs-research.org\/en\/2025summer-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">half year report summer 2025<\/a><\/span>, which summarises our activities). To do this, we need extensive support from private donors \u2013 those affected, relatives, families, friends, associations, schools, networks, companies, initiatives, event organisers and all supporters. And if you are not able to provide direct support, you can share our story and motivate others to help. Because only together can such a feat be achieved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We fully translate donations and other support into scientifically excellent research, networking and ultimately visible successes, i.e. improved ME\/CFS diagnostics and therapies.
