Awareness Matchday with TSG 1899 Hoffenheim
On April 4, 2026, our Awareness Matchday in cooperation with TSG 1899 Hoffenheim during the home match against FSV Mainz 05 took place.
The highlight of the day was the walk-out action: Oli Baumann walked onto the pitch carrying a pair of shoes instead of a child, to symbolize the absence of children who suffer from ME/CFS. In addition, both teams sent an emotional message before the match by holding up a banner reading “CURE ME/CFS.” Oli Baumann also wore a captain’s armband bearing the inscription “CURE ME/CFS” throughout the entire match. Besides, cup deposit donations were donated to the ME/CFS Research Foundation.
Even before the match, the club had drawn attention to the campaign in various ways: a stadium interview was conducted with Aiden from our team, both on the village square and inside the stadium. The club also published an awareness reel on Instagram and an article on its website. As with all our campaigns, we were present with a stand to talk with fans about us and our conditions.
We would like to thank all volunteers on site and TSG Hoffenheim for their great support before and during the campaign. A very special thank you goes to Grischa Prömel, who also raised awareness of the condition on TV.

Awareness Matchday in Eichstätt
On March 28, 2026, we were guests at VfB Eichstätt during their match against Würzburger Kickers. Alongside the pitch, we ran an information stand to raise awareness among visitors about us and our conditions.
As a sign of solidarity, the team also stopped by for a group photo with us. In addition, one of our volunteers was interviewed at half-time. Around the match, the club raised awareness about us and our conditions through an interview on their website and a reel on Instagram.
We would like to thank VfB Eichstätt for this opportunity, and all the volunteers who helped us to run our information booth. A very special thank you goes to Lying Down Demonstration Regensburg, who supported us on-site and in the organisation of the awareness matchday.

Participation in the Inclusion Match Day in Nürnberg
On March 7, 2026, we attended the Inclusion Match Day organized by 1. FC Nürnberg during their game against Fortuna Düsseldorf. With an information booth, we were able to raise awareness among many people about our conditions and distribute remaining stock of our solidarity T-shirts in exchange for donations to the ME/CFS Research Foundation. At our booth, we also displayed various posters and banners and drew attention to the fate of Sarah Buckel, who passed away due to ME/CFS.
We would like to thank the club and all the volunteers on site. Special thanks go to Lying Down Demonstration Regensburg for supporting us in managing the booth.
