Pale blue Pedal for Power graphic with the heading “Paced actions. Real care.” and large text “How do I set my goal?” (with “my goal” highlighted). Emerge Australia Pedal for Power logo appears in the bottom-right corner with green and navy corner accents.

#PedalforPower has 2 gears: 1 for people living with #MECFS & #longCOVID, and 1 for allies 💙

Set your goal by the total minutes you’ll “pedal” until 12 May.
Eg: meditate 60 mins a day × 50 days = 3,000 mins.

Light blue tile with a photo of Lisa from Team Broulee Return and Earn who is wearing a lime green shirt and standing next a "Return and Earn" container bottle machine. Tile contains a quote from the team: "We were motivated to join Pedal for Power because an immediate family member lives with ME/CFS. Participating is multifaceted, raising much needed funds for Emerge [Australia] is also an opportunity to educate the community on ME/CFS ... We want people living with ME/CFS to know we see them, we value their contributions and expertise of ME/CFS through their lived experience."

Team Broulee Return & Earn have a personal connection to #MECFS through a family member. They and their community on the Sth Coast are collecting containers as part of #P4P.

Thank you for participating ✨

Rest is participation. For people with #MECFS & #LongCOVID, even small exertion can cause PEM. This fundraiser is built around pacing & energy limits, choose rest or any gentle activity as your pedal.

#PedalForPower

Slide 1 of “Pedal for Power Explained” (Emerge Australia). Text explains the fundraiser has “two gears”: one for people living with ME/CFS and long COVID, and one for friends/allies. Notes that even small activity can worsen symptoms, so the campaign is PEM-informed, flexible, self-paced, inclusive, and built around different energy limits. “Paced actions. Real care.”

Square graphic titled “What the funds support” with Emerge Australia Pedal for Power logo. Text states donations support Emerge Australia programs including: advocacy to government (meetings with parliamentarians, events and submissions), patient education sessions, health support calls via telehealth, clinical education and evidence-based content delivered through self-paced modules/webinars/in-person events, and research via the AusME biobank and registry. Bottom text: “Paced actions. Real care.” with green/blue accents.

Square graphic titled “3 Why Pedal for Power” with Emerge Australia Pedal for Power logo. Text explains donations support Emerge Australia’s education, advocacy, research and support. Notes traditional fundraisers are high-energy and many in the community can’t participate. Says Pedal for Power is designed as an inclusive initiative for community and supporters, and a powerful awareness campaign between Long COVID Awareness Day and ME/CFS & Fibromyalgia Awareness Day. Footer: “Paced actions. Real care.”

Square graphic titled “4 How people can take part” with Emerge Australia Pedal for Power logo. Text says if you fundraise and have PEM, your “pedal” can look different. It lists options: rest, meditate, tap, stitch, or other to suit energy limits. Closing lines: “If you live with PEM: Rest is your pedal. It recharges you” and “PEM is real…” Footer: “Paced actions. Real care”.

Pedal for Power is NOT a cycling event 💙

It’s an inclusive fundraiser designed for people with #MECFS & #LongCOVID where rest can be your “pedal.” Choose your own activity and rally support.
