Note: 6/27/06 - PLEASE SEE THE LAST POST IN THIS THREAD FOR THE RESULTS OF THE PAGEANT.
Tomorrow, Wed., June 21st, through Saturday, June 24th, are the days during which our own 'missextreme", Charis, will be competing in the Miss South Dakota Pageant with Lyme disease awareness as her platform.
By going to the following website you can send her an e-mail to be delivered on one of the days during the competition. Let's flood her with encouragement and thanks as she represents us all.
I trust she is in bed early tonight, getting her beauty sleep, and will not see this. Receiving LOTS of e-mails from her Lyme friends will be a real surprise.

Nancy, thanks for the news on Charis & I'll send her right now!
Thanks for this IMPORTANT NEWS BULLETIN, and I have loved it LYME DISEASE IS CHARIS' PLATFORM. You go girl.
I just sent her a note; YOU made it so easy by having her full name appear in the box! Thank God she is the only Charis!

done- but since i was getting my beauty rest,too she may not get this until after breakfast-hey what's the time difference- I mean maybe there's hope she got it when she wakes up because i'm from the East Coast.
at 8;30 EST what time is it in South Dakota. Where is Hot Springs , anyway?

Carol in Baltimore, Hot Springs is just a hop, skip, and a jump down the road from Buffalo Gap. Another famous South Dakota town!!!Cuz I still B --just don--

Thanks to you all for responding to my request. I am hopeful that others will do this so that she will receive e-mails morning, noon, and night during all four days of the competition.
When I last spoke with her, she was fearful that Lyme might rob her of the stamina that she needs to sustain her through all the days of the competition, so I think that the e-mails will help to cheer her on.

Thanks Nancy for posting this!!!
I contacted her and sent an email supporting her and giving her permission to utilize the www.lymeleague.com web site to help promote lyme disease. Also asked to send her a copy of "The Singing Forest, A Journey Through Lyme Disease" that I wrote. Hopefully she will WIN!!!!
Go Charis!!

Charis, CONGRATS for putting forth your best efforts and representing ALL OF US LYMIES with your platform. We could NOT BE MORE PROUD OF YOU Chris! We all enjoyed giving you lyme info to share with the public.
Later, please post about YOUR experiences and how did you hold up being sick also?

Sorry everyone, I have been out of town for the past three days, and have not been able to find out anything about the pageant results.
The Hot Springs newspaper (where the pageant was held) is a weekly publication and comes out on Tuesdays.
I will check it online tomorrow, and if I don't see an article, I will call and let you know what I find out.
No doubt Charis is exhausted after all that she has been through. I am sure that we will be hearing from her soon.
Will be in touch, Nancy
