Tis The Season
For Giving

The holiday season is a time for giving, and there are several causes within the Lyme community that could definitely use your support. Donations to these funds would be greatly appreciated and used for the good of Lyme patients.

LYME AID 4 KIDS:
The Lyme Disease Association (LDA), in collaboration with best-selling author Amy Tan, has developed a fund designed to be used by families with no insurance who need to have their children properly evaluated for possible Lyme disease. The fund is administered by the LDA through individual treating physicians nationwide who agree to participate, and right now the priority is to get children properly diagnosed as early as possible. Tax deductible donations for the fund can be made payable to: Lyme Disease Association, Inc. and please note LymeAid4Kids on your check memo or letter. Please mail to:

Lyme Disease Association, Inc.
PO Box 1438
Jackson, NJ 08527

LYME DISEASE ASSOCIATION:
The Lyme Disease Association is always in need of donations to continue advocating on behalf of Lyme disease patients. The LDA is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) organization that has raised over one million dollars for Lyme disease research, prevention, and education. The LDA has funded research projects from coast to coast and has had a number of its funded projects published in peer-reviewed literature. Additionally, along with the Greenwich LD Task Force, the LDA is funding the first research center for chronic Lyme disease in the country (at Columbia University Medical Center).

Tax deductible donations can be sent to:
Lyme Disease Association, Inc.
PO Box 1438
Jackson, NJ 08527

NEW IN 2004:
Donations for the above funds can now be made online at: www.lymediseaseassociation.org

NOTE:
Lymeinfo considers these to be important issues for the Lyme community. Lymeinfo's moderators do not benefit financially in any way from contributions to any of the above funds.

Folks, this is VERY IMPORTANT. This will be the ONE & ONLY Chronic Lyme research center in the WORLD! The fact that it is at a respected academic hospital will help bring belated credibility, gain state and federal research $, and help their research be publshed in the elite medical journals.

This will be a MAJOR step in giving the LLMD collective an injection of legitimacy against detractors of all sorts.

It is IMPERATIVE that this center be up and runing and financially viable.
