. 19 celebrities who have struggled with lyme disease
THEY DIDN'T LIST ALL OF THEM Alec Baldwin Christie Brinkley Mel Clarke – former archery champion Cher’s son Elijah Blue Bill Chinnock – Award winning singer songwriter David Letterman Ray Mears
Wine pioneer Gabe Magnotta dead at 60 Gabe Magnotta was a trailblazer in Ontario’s wine industry.
In his business life, he battled what he considered an unfair marketing system. And in his private life, he fought Lyme disease, which he had contracted in 2006.
His wife Rossana Magnotta said her husband’s adversaries sometimes referred to him as the black sheep of the wine business.
“Gabe liked to correct them and say, with a chuckle, that he was the white knight leading the way,” she said.
Magnotta died Dec. 30, at home, with his family at his side.
Rossana Magnotta said her husband’s death makes her more determined then ever to establish a research centre to combat Lyme disease.
“There has been far too much suffering for far too long,” she said.
She has asked for donations in Gabe Magnotta’s memory to be made to the Canadian Lyme Disease Foundation.

Hello <<<<< Steve >>>>>,
Thanks for the info' On the Celeb's who have fought/are fighting Lyme disease.
I found Lymenet and my diagnosis, because of Author Rebecca Wells, she and her friends came on the old Ya Ya's board[ it is now non-functional, tho' I think there is a different one], and explained the symptoms of Lyme and Co's.
I was encouraged to get tested, and to check out LymeNet. And here I remain, sadly I have chronic Lyme w/ co-infections,as many here do.
Jus' Silverwolfi [ or Wolfnbear if there's any Ya Ya Sisters about].
