Minnesota Lymefighter’s Advocacy

 

MNLymefight-1From what I heard this organization was disbanded due to health and personal reasons.  You will be missed.

Within these groups across the United States and other countries, there are fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, sons, daughters and so forth. As Dr. Jemsek states, “sooner or later” your family will be affected by this growing disease and you, too, will be trying to make a difference.

“In the Lymelight” ~ Minnesota Lymefighter’s Advocacy

The Minnesota Lymefighter’s Advocacy began because two sisters, Tracie and Leslie, both were struggling and battling with late stage Lyme Disease and wanted to help others. It was understood that this was their purpose in life and, thus, they created this organization to offer support and advocate for others. They wanted to make sure that those that were also battling with Lyme Disease were not alone and to let others know that “Lyme disease is the most misdiagnosed, misunderstood and mistreated disease in the world! But, there is hope when you are treated by a ‘Lyme Literate Medical Doctor’ or ’LLMD’.”

Leslie has since has passed in November, 2008,

Andy Abrahams Wilson, Producer/Director of the Powerful Lyme Disease Documentary, “Under Our Skin” wrote a beautiful tribute which you can read on their website.   “The Lyme community has lost an important hero and friend…Leslie gave everything she had to help others who were sick…an abundant reserve of love and support–even as her own health waned.”
