We would like to bring focus in our walk that Lyme does indeed exist in California. The walk will be held on October 6th at Embarcadero Marina Park North in San Diego.
If you live or used to live in California, please send you first name, last initial and how long you have been suffering from Lyme to [email protected]
Your name will go on a card worn around the neck of a volunteer and will help bring home that there are many Californians who are suffering.
We are doing our best to make this a big media event but need everyone's help to make this happen.
