Completed Projects
Celebrity Press Kits-
Lymenaide with the support of the Turn the Corner Foundation and Open Eye Pictures sent out press kits to celebrities. The kits included information from Lymenaide and Turn the Corner as well as information about “Under Our Skin” and a copy of the film. Each kit also included a DVD of the PSAs from this May and five Lyme disease awareness bracelets.
Our goal with these kits is to inspire and encourage the celebs to join our cause and help spread Lyme disease awareness. The celebrities and shows chosen to receive the kits have huge fan bases. The more fan bases we can reach, the more awareness we can spread.

Paint May Lyme Green 2010-
Paint May Lyme Green 2010 was Lymenaide’s first project. With the help of And What Productions and the entire Lyme community we raised funds through the projects non-profit sponsor P.A.N.D.O.R.A. to create public service announcements, PSAs, for Lyme disease. The PSAs were sent out with press kits to members of the Lyme community across the Untied States and Canada. The individuals then sent the PSAs, kits and a personal testimonial to their local television stations.
Additionally Lymenaide encouraged everyone to spread Lyme disease awareness in May. Facebook profiles were painted green, letters were sent to politicians and newspapers, green ribbons were hung and awareness shirts, stickers and other items were made available.

Lymenaide Holiday Bazaar-
Here you will find an assortment of artists, crafters, businessmen and businesswomen that have all been affected by Late Stage Lyme Disease. Some vendors are patients and Lyme sufferers themselves, while others have loved ones that are battling this harrowing disease.
The purpose of our venue is to feature these Lyme affected creators, in hope for both financial support and a rise in awareness of the disease that they battle. Due to the debilitating physical and financial nature of this destructive infectious disease, most of these artists, creators and crafters rely solely on the income from their crafts and creations to fund treatment and sustain daily living. They pour their heart and soul, and the little energy that they have left, into the work that they do.
The Lymenaide Holiday Bazaar will run from October 1, 2010 through January 10, 2011. Follow this link to the Bazaar website- http://lymenaideholidaybazaar.blogspot.com/p/welcome.html
