Sherri Todd joins the ICanCME Research Network as the Director for British Columbia of the National ME/FM Action Network, a patient-based Canadian charity that has been working on behalf of Canadians with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and Fibromyalgia since 1993.

Among other accomplishments, this organization spearheaded the development of diagnostic and treatment protocols for ME and for Fibromyalgia and hosted an international research and clinical conference. The organization has been recognized in the Canadian House of Commons and Senate.

Ms. Todd started an association for ME patients in BC in 1988, and developed a network of patient representatives, support groups, a newsletter and professional contacts across the province. She moved to the National ME/FM Action Network a decade later.

In 2008, she was invited to be a founding member of the Community Advisory Committee of BC’s Complex Chronic Diseases Program located at the Women’s Hospital in Vancouver and has served on that committee ever since.
