May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month.
If you don't have a Lime Green pin or ribbon, get one. We need to get the word out that LYME DISEASE IS A PROBLEM!!!!
Wanna make a bigger impact, buy a Lyme Disease shirt! People will surely stop and ask about your shirt that says Lyme is a four letter word!
This shirt can be purchased by clicking the picture of the shirt. The person who created this shirt is (obviously) affected by Lyme. Go to her blog to see other designs for shirts, buttons and other assorted items.
Print off flyers and information about Lyme Disease and pass them around doctor's offices, legislative buildings and even people you see that ask you about your shirts and ribbons.
People KNOW that October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Make an IMPACT on Lyme Disease. Make people Aware that Lyme Disease exists and it is a Chronic Illness. Make people aware that it imitates other illnesses and the controversy surrounding treatment and test results.
I will post this blog many times prior to May 1st so that everyone has a chance to change the world's perception of Lyme Disease.

Hi Jennifer! Thank you for your comment and for your great plug! I am so glad you liked my t-shirt designs and appreciate you telling the world. We haven't sold many items yet but we are working on getting the word out there. My husband has been in IV treatments for the past 16 months and every day is a struggle for our family. The world needs to know the destruction that Lyme disease causes. Thanks for sharing our shirts! I have gladly added you to our site and will be adding your other blog as well. What a fantastic idea!! Prayer is powerful for us Lymies! :) God Bless!
BTW- I also added a plug on our family blog and created a button for the Praying For Lymies site. You can take it and use it if you would like. People can add it to their blogs and link it back to the praying page. Hope you like!
That's awesome you're getting the awareness out there. We're having our walk May 31st this year to end Lyme Awareness month with a bang! I will be sure to have my LYME WALK shirt on that month as well.
