I Wear Lime Green for Me and Lyme Disease Awareness! A little about me: I was diagnosed with Chronic Lyme Meningitis in August 2011. I am 28 years old and live in southern New Jersey. I am newly married (12/2009) and have a wonderful supportive husband, family & friends. I am a special education teacher teaching PSD in a public school - I've been on disability since August and…. I really miss teaching. Overall..I never knew a tick bit me. I am now trying to learn how to walk again, drive, trying to have a conversation without confusion and just live my life! Please read my blog from the beginning. Thanks for all of your help and support. Please share the blog and Let's Raise Awareness!!!

THANK YOU for your love and support!!

Thank you!!! Without all of your love and support over this past year.. I do not know where I would be. Between the visits, phone calls, driving me places, get well cards, emails, texts.. I am truly blessed. Thank you to my wonderful husband, Jon, who has been by my side and who is doing EVERYTHING for us.. he is my heart <3. My parents ( the best parents a girl could have)- Thank you for ALWAYS being there to support me and love me and care for me. My family- I am SO blessed to have them by my side and for all of their love & support <3. Pine Hill School District- Thank you for the social, donations, rides to drs, goodie baskets, love and support! Victory Physical Therapy- without your help and guidance I would still be in a walker and a brace! Thank you for believing in me! Fitness Inc Training Studios for your fundrasier to kick Lyme Butt! All of my friends: who have been by my side since day 1 **you all KNOW who you are** I am lucky to have such great people in my life. I love you!

MAY IS LYME AWARENESS MONTH

Here are some great ideas to help raise awareness during Lyme awareness month. Thanks Lisa Hilton!

Some easy ideas are: "Sam's " :) project! Just like I did for autism lighting it up blue I thought of why not use green in May for Lyme! We can Let it Shine Green! I went and bought a green light bulb at Lowes. Next year, I am hoping to contact Lowes or Home Depot and see if they can sell Green Light Bulbs and let some proceeds to to Lyme Research- just trying to come up with ways to help raise awareness! Some other ideas are: tying lyme green ribbons around your trees or porch. Passing out Lyme brochures, and if you are able to see a viewing of under our skin! If you would like to see the movie come on over and I will have a showing at my house. Thank you all and Let's Raise Awareness!!
