Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!
Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support fundraising for CALDA for actual or virtual San Francisco Lyme walkers!
Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
The San Francisco Lyme walk will take place on Sunday September 26 starting at 1pm. We will meet at Larkin/Fulton, the northwest corner of the main library, around the corner from the Civic Center BART/Muni station.
We will follow an easy downtown sidewalk route, returning to the Main library for educational activities, including a doctor's presentation, possibly a slideshow, a children's room for kids' activities, education outside for pet owners, etc. Cafeteria food and drink available on the lower level.
Walkers are encouraged to wear green (Lyme = lime green), bring signs and green balloons. Please refrain from wearing scents.
Dogs are also welcome on the walk, as pets can be affected by Lyme disease and co-infections as well. How about some green balloons tied to those dogs?! Pets are also invited to make CALDA donations on behalf of themselves as well as their human guardians.
Please email me at sf_seal@sbcglobal.net if you would like to help out with the walk in any way. There are plenty of opportunities for partecipation!
Thank you for taking the time to visit this page, make any contributions to CALDA's wonderful work, and join us on this first-ever Lyme walk in San Francisco!
Btw, as the main SF Lymewalk organizer, I went undiagnosed for 25 years, and was finally told four years ago by someone online across the country. I had never even heard of Lyme when she told me what my many symptoms probably meant!
I subsequently bloodtested positive, went on antibiotics, and in a week's time, my muscle pain of 25 years, called fibromyalgia for so many years, diminished to almost zero!
This is another reason for doing Lyme educating - not only to protect all of us from further infections, but also to catch those who are suffering with unrecognized, misdiagnosed conditions that actually turn out to be Lyme disease and co-infections. It is a humanitarian act to restore us to our healthier lives!
To our improved collective health! - Robin Krop
