The Canadian Lyme Disease Foundation is organizing a quiet recognition of Lyme Sufferers, to draw attention to the inadequate testing in Canada for Lyme disease and co-infections. This is not a demonstration. Everyone is welcome to attend and we ask for your support by coming out, whether you have Lyme disease or someone you know.
