Can you believe that is is less than 4 weeks until May? Time is going so fast!

This week we are asking everyone to focus on telling their story and getting them online somewhere and somehow.

Individually our stories may seem insignificant but every story that we add to the May campaign makes the impact that much stronger. Imagine the impact of 1000’s of people all sharing their Lyme stories on May 1st. Move over doppelganger week and watch out twitter trending topics Lyme is the theme of the month.

How To Make This Happen

Video

  • Upload your video story to YouTube. CLICK HERE TO SEE A SAMPLE.
  • You can also film and upload your story straight to your facebook profile.
  • If you don’t have or want to create your own YouTube channel you can upload your story to LYMENAIDE@ME.COM

Written-

  • If your Lyme story isn’t already online, get it posted somewhere.
  • Post as a note on your facebook
  • Many blogs have a section for your stories. LYMENAIDE.COM and LYMEBITES.COM will both post your written submissions.
  • Include a photo, this makes your story more real and personal

On May 1st we will all post a link to our Lyme stories, video or written, on our facebook, myspace, blog, twitter, etc profiles. Ask everyone you know to read/watch your story and share it with everyone they know to help spread awareness.

If you aren’t comfortable with posting your own story, LYMENAIDE YOUTUBE has a collection of news stories from across the country and the around the world. Post one of these that is most relevant to your community.

Don’t stop with May 1st. Continue to post articles, videos and stories throughout May. Encourage the people you know to learn about Lyme and to help you spread awareness to their friends and family. This is important.

I personally know of 2 people who were diagnosed because of what I posted on Lymenaide and facebook. They had been sick for a long time and didn’t know what was wrong, of course the doctors were telling them they were fine. Because of me and the information I shared they are now properly diagnosed and being treated.

You will make a difference in someone’s life by participating in this project. Whether it is someone you know or someone they know who is suffering, your story could be the turning point in their health journey.
