nsdgirl asked about Lyme walks to raise money.

Since many of us aren't up to walking, I thought, well why not lyme naps?

I seem to need many naps to get through the day.

Some of you may remember John and Yoko Lennon doing a sleep-in for peace during the Vietnam War.

We could get sponsors and have them pay a certain amount per each 30 minute segment of napping that we do over a period of time.

And the money of course would go to lyme research.

It would be certain that we would be able to participate!

hehe! Even I would be up for a nap-in!

My thought about the walk though would be to have non-sufferers walk for someone they know who suffers from Lyme.

OK, Since I had this brilliant idea early in the morning, having woken up from the sore throat I live with, and it is now officially afternoon.

I'm going to take a nap!

Anybody want to pay a charity fundraiser for my napping prowess???

Karen,
I'm going to start training, right now!
In case we can find sponsors I sure want to be in my best napping form.

Pack up the sleeping bags and pillows and meet at your local health department!

Hmmmm... Possibilities here. Shall we wear hospital gowns or jammies?

Wow, so many ideas! I love this! It is great. We can have Lymies wear jammies and nap-in at there local health department and non-lymies walking for someone they know or just because. That way we can raise twice as much money!

I am totally up to that. I should probably start training...

Or maybe we could have community nap-ins. I would love to have a nap-in at my school. Who wouldn't pay a dollar to not have to do classwork!?! I would. Or they could go walk around our track if they were in that kind of mood!

HaHa...so many possibilities...HaHa...love the idea though!

Oh yea, our local news people love doing stories on stuff like that so it would be a great opportunity to get the word out about Lyme in our area! Just a thought! Still loving the idea of the nap though!

We could combine the two groups -- lymenappers in the middle raising money by the half hour, and lymewalkers on the perimeter going round and round raising money for each round trip.

Both groups could exchange at some point -- a walker taps a napper or a napper lets a walker know they now can take a rest.

LOL, I like how you think -- warped!

The Walk Against Lyme is getting organized, and people are beginning to sign up. There will be a one-day walk/run on Minnesota on May 5, and a team "stroll" throughout the month of May.

No more talk about "gee, it would be nice." It's happening! Hope you'll sign up. It's fun, and you get to hear from walkers all over the country. (If you want to do a "nap-in" as part of it, great, but I will not be able to organize that for you, I have taken on enough.)

Read the post about the Walk here, and PM me for further info.

Gettin' out my Nikes,
Shaz
