I am moving this post to Medical Questions because I believe it needs to be answered and responded to!
This is important for us to make the people who aren't suffering with Lyme understand why we're so passionate about our stories! This could really put an impact into our walk!! It's easy and FREE! Just 5 sentences.
Thanks guys!
As the Lyme Walk- For those who can't of the Corning Finger Lakes area begins to get underway: we are asking for your help for contribution to the walk a free and easy way to give a voice to Lyme disease and those who suffer from it-
Our goal is to promote awareness and prevention of Lyme Disease with this we're asking you to contribute your story and face to the walk as a free way to get your story out there to make non-Lyme suffers understand a little more. The ideal goal is to have 100's of ''Lymie's'' to hand out for each walker so every walker has a person they are walking for.
What we need:
- Your name (First names only please!)
- Your state (no city or anything else)
- Your Photo (just a head shot is fine, we really just want to be able to put a face with the stories and having a photo- makes the story all more real to the person walking for you.)
- And of course a very brief description of what you have been through, symptoms, how long you've had it and how Lyme has affected you. We ask that you limit the story to 5 sentences or give us the liberty of editing your story for the walk due to lack of space on these cards we will be handing out
- *Upon sending in your story please have the photo and story either together as one document or clearly labeled with your name if it is two files*
Our Vision-
We hope to have each walker carrying with pride or pinning their lime green square to their shirt and throughout the upcoming year they are thinking of you and sending thoughts and prayers to you and your family. We want each person to have a personal touch and be able to take ownership in the walk itself so they are not only walking for a cause but also walking for an individual.
If you would like further information regarding the walk- we encourage you to visit our website at www.lymewalk.org or e-mail Victoria Wilcox at [email protected]Posts: 82 | From New York | Registered: Feb 2007
