Lyme Disease Rally

[hilly]

PLEASE FORWARD AND CROSS-POST


NUMBERS COUNT

Lt. Governor Andre Bauer will be speaking on behalf of patients. There will be additional speakers for the event as well. This rally will be held on Thursday May 14th between 10-11:30 am. in Columbia SC. This rally is not just for those in SC, but for patients, family members and friends from surrounding states to be included. Legislators will be in session and they have received personal invitations to this event.

Though some of you don't even remotely live near here, send this email to those that you know in SC & surrounding states, like GA, NC & VA.

Please RSVP to me at greenvillelyme@bellsouth.net , so we can have a head count.

People from any state are welcome to come. Bring family, friends and of course, wear lime green. CALDA has great t-shirts!

For those of you in the Greenville Lyme Support Group, we will not have the support group meeting planned for May 16th in lieu of the rally.

Please join us for this historic event and make your presence known. Lyme Disease as you know, is a much bigger issue than is imagined by the general populous which barely knows what it is. We need to show this by our numbers.

Your presence or those that you know of will be a huge boost to getting Lyme into the mainstream and recognized.

If you have any media contacts, please inform them and ask them to come and cover this event. Thank you all so much!

Hilly -
That is great! It is the kind of organization and promotion needed in the Morgellons Community. So far there has been one Morgellons Rally in Atlanta in 2007. As I mentioned in another thread, another is planned for late Sept.
Just like many other diseases, Morgellons will only get the recognition it needs for funding, etc, if we unite and make this horror known.
And yes - there are MANY more cases of Lyme than people are aware of.
I think, though, that more and more people are learning what it is. Very few, these days, are unaware of it (unlike Morgellons).
Good job, Hilly!

We should join forces with the Lyme community and the Gulf war vets.
