I was so scared...I was in the ER twice...I wish insurance companies and doctors would recognize more. You just have to fight and ask questions.We have to as parents and caregivers be prepared that's the first thing we have to rule out. They're everywhere. - Nina Walters, RN & mother of 17-year-old top athlete with sudden 105° fever
The scary thing is that it was so unknown. I had no idea what was going on in my body and that fear and panic made it 10 times worse There's a point of helplessness that you reach when you think this is never going to get better. - Jonah Cummings, Lyme patient
I wish I had known. - Maddie Pinckney, Lyme patient
These are just some of the stories people are telling us every day.
Rich resources are available in CNY to combat the disease, but many people dont know about them. Our job is to connect the dots. Through the Alliance, doctors, nurses, scientists and community leaders rally to combat the threat and they need your help. With four strategic pillars - Clinical, Education, Research, Environment - our focus is on education now, as people are eager to get outside, mowing lawns, gardening, kids rolling in the grass, playing in parks, back yards, camping, hiking, participating in sports.
We need to reach camps, scouts, neighborhood associations, park officials, garden clubs and more. Outreach and education are where we will be using funds from this summer campaign.
