HI David, The lyme bracelts do grab attention with their bright color (and they even glow in the dark!). I bought a bunch about a year ago. Sent some to our state senator who has helped us with insurance, school policies and with legislation.
We also gave one to Greg's principal and guidance counselor. I wasn't sure if the men would wear them or not. Greg had been sick so over 2 years and no longer able to attend school and being home tutored.
Was quite angry when we went to a team meeting and neither one was wearing it. I figured they could at least put it on for the meeting to support Greg.
Then I found out from the son of the guidance counselor (who goes to my school) that his dad gave it to the son to play with. I was really ripping then! This isn't a disease to be taken lightly.
I would have rather they just said no thank you and I could have given it to someone who cared!!!
Thanks for letting me vent!!! Kathy as always, Posts: 64 | From MA | Registered: Mar 2006
