I want to talk about something that has played an important role in my life the past couple months. Shortly before starting my IV treatment, I began working on a project that is now turning into a national nonprofit group. We are a small team of leaders who have just decided that enough is enough and we want to give a voice to those that don't have one. This organization is called Lyme Warriors. We are fighting for change. For awareness to be brought to this silent epidemic. Fighting to raise funds for research, and fighting to give a voice to those who are suffering daily without any hope. Our goal is to stand up for the lyme community, in politics, in the media, in the educational system, and simply to show lyme patients that someone cares about them. We are warriors, and will continue to fight until change is made; until we are recognized as a disease and as a community of sufferers. I am so blessed to be a part of this group. It has given me an outlet and a purpose to work toward, a way to help make a difference amidst the chaos and emotional and physical suffering that lyme patients must deal with every day. This is made so much worse since most people do not understand them or take them seriously, *especially* the mainstream medical community. After launching just weeks ago, Lyme Warrior has already had great success, and we have MANY more things to come. We are just getting started. I will leave some links down below in case you want to learn more. And for those of you that have lyme and are struggling right now: know that we are fighting for you, every day Lyme Warrior is fighting for your voice to be heard and for your disease to be recognized. If you need support please don't hesitate to contact me through this site or send a message through our Facebook page.
