How can you help?

If you want to raise awareness, there are a few ways.

🔶 You can always take a bite out of Lyme disease and challenge others.

🔶 Donate money to many Lyme foundations. Trust me every dollar helps.

🔶 Reach out to your local tv channels and share your personal story. The more tv coverage you get the more online presence you gain.

🔶 Contact your local politicians and share your story and struggle. Having a ready to go flyer both pdf format and printed version can be helpful. Ask them to officially declare May as Lyme Disease Awareness month and they will issue a declaration.

🔶 Use your own network. Post facts along with short personal story and ask friends and family to share your post.

🔶 Twitter is a big gun. Prepare a Lyme disease graphic with facts and tweet to celebrities asking them to retweet. Reaching out to celebrities who have suffered an illnesses or who do a lot of philanthropic work will increase your odds of getting their attention.

🔶 Contact schools and see if you can do a presentation on Lyme disease or arrange for a Lyme disease challenge event.

🔶 You can also setup fundraisers. Many restaurants already have a system in place for fundraisers, since it is good publicity for them.

Good luck.
