As most of you know I have been fighting lyme for several years........... I have come a long way with my battle, but unfortunately this disease still effects me!!
I have been so grateful to have your support in so many ways---especially those of you whom have attended my galas and the 2 Westchester Lyme Walks.
Tonight, I am excited to share that Turn the Corner foundation has announced their 1st virtual walk---------------yes virtual, therfore you wont have to schlep out to the walk-----instead all you need to do is click on the link below and then click on the green button "join now"....its very simple!!
Then all you need to do is wear your free tshirt on Sunday May 15th (for at least part of the day if not the whole day) and show that you are supporting the fight against LYME!!
I would really appreciate it if as many of my friends and family would join me in this virtual walk----------the more t-shirts that are worn in different communities ------------the larger the statement will be made and the closer we will be to finding more innovative treatments, educating doctors to become lyme literate and funding research!
Thank you so much in advance for your generosity!
love,
alyssa
Thank you for joining
The 1st Annual International Virtual
Walk to Turn the Corner on Lyme.
This unique Virtual Walk allows participants to join together, each in their own community on May 15, 2011, to raise awareness about Lyme disease and tick-borne diseases.
The first 500 participants to sign-up with a donation of $35 or more will get a FREE WALK T-SHIRT. Wear it proudly in your own community on May 15, 2011. A follow-up email will be sent to obtain your size order for the Walk T-Shirt. Please allow up to 3-4 weeks for T-shirt delivery.
Visit the Together We Face Lyme Pages to view photos of walk participants, friends and supporters. After your donation is made, you will be emailed a receipt which will provide a link to upload your photo and join the Virtual Walk.
To raise awareness, Turn the Corner has prepared a Template Press
Release and a Template Letter to the Editor to be personalized by all
walk participants and sent by you to your local newspaper, blog, or on-
line news service.
Once your registration is complete, please create a Personal
Fundraising Page and ask your friends and family to support you and
the Virtual Walk. Send it to everyone you know! Post the Virtual Walk on Facebook.
Money raised from the Virtual Walk will support Turn the Corner
Foundation's new campaign to raise public awareness about Lyme disease and tick-borne diseases, on-going research projects and the Physician's Training Program, which provides medical practitioners the opportunity to study with a Lyme-literate health care professional.
MANY THANKS
FOR YOUR GENEROSITY AND SUPPORT
One day... One voice... One goal.... End Lyme!
