Thank-Goodness I'm a news junkie! I think it was CNN who announced that Bill Gates is going to turn over control of Microsoft in 2 years, so he & his wife, Melinda, could focus on Charitable Organizations--he's worth $32-38 B-I-L-L-I-O-N!! WOW! And he's only 50!
He & his wife opened a VERY HIGH TECH (experiment)school in Arizona...Children & the plights they face are their main focus; I wish that they knew about our Dr.J!

The above link is about Dr. Charles Ray Jones, Conn. LLMD for CHILDREN! He is being investigated by Conn. Dept. of Health. They are trying to take away his medical license! We can't allow that to happen.
Can you or a group of you from your support group contact Bill Gates about Dr. Jones need for $$ for his defense funds?
We've sent money once thru our www.lymenet.org message board members.
He's got another hearing June 22; funds will be depleted after that hearing date!
Reno's 1st note said he wants to be involved in CHILDREN'S CHARITIES, and we have our CHRONIC LYME CHILDREN ... a perfect choice for him to get involved NOW if at all possible.
Does anyone in your group have any connections with Bill or any VIPS in his org?
We've got to act NOW; funds needed in 1 week! I saw on another post, he has 2 more hearings after this in Sept.
Alexis, are you able to help us ALL the chronic lyme CHILDREN out by contacting Bill Gates?
I'm copying Lyme Disease Assn. President Pat Smith and lyme activitst, Lucy Barnes aka Tincup so they are aware of the request I've made on behalf of all LDA patients nationwide.

Why don't you tell them about Dr. Jones, they can either just ignore you, say no, or do something!

He donated 1 BILLION for AIDS research last year & 1 MILLION for Malaria research...or vice-versa!
It sounds very promising 4 Columbia (maybe).

I heard back from Alexis, and will copy/paste her comments here. She brought up something else, and I will start a NEW post on that issue.
Hi Betty:
I will post it to my group to see if anyone has connections with Bill Gates. It's worth a shot.
I was wondering .... Years ago, Dr. Jones received a generous donation of (I believe $400K or $800K, which he then donated to the LDA. These funds then helped to set up the Kids 4 Lyme Fund.
I am just wondering ... can any of these funds Dr. Jones donated to the LDA be returned to him in his time of need for his Legal Fund? Sincerely,
