“Together We Face Lyme” “One Day. One Voice. One Goal…End Lyme!”

May 2011 is bringing with it many different awareness events for Lyme Disease.

This year Turn the Corner Foundation is hosting its first Virtual Walk on May 15, 2011. This is a great way for you to get involved. Unfortunately, there are those that are so very weak and ill that cannot make the awareness events. This often leaves them frustrated because they too want to become involved. Turn the Corner’s Virtual Walk gives those the opportunity to be a part of May’s awareness events in the comfort of their own home.

Sure, many of you would like to be out and about enjoying the fresh air or the camaraderie that often comes with these events, but now you can be part of the team. You can also include your family and friends to join you. Perhaps one of your family or friends would like to throw a small event or get together in celebration of this Virtual Walk like many do for the Super Bowl. Or, whatever other idea that you may come up with—it would be great to have photos or videos of the ideas that you have come up with to share with us.

The first 500 participants get a Free Walk T-shirt and all you have to do is sign up and donate a minimum of $35. Of course, you are always welcome to donate more. It is still not too late to join, so do it today and wear your Walk T-shirt for all to see.  (Please go to the website to see the complete and full details.)

Turn the Corner Foundation has also made it easy for you to raise awareness by preparing a Template Letter to the Editor and Press Release for you to use. Just add your story to personalize it and send it to your local newspaper, news on-line service or your community blog.

The Virtual Walk proceeds will be used to fund its new campaign to raise awareness for the public about Lyme Disease and the other tick-borne diseases. The funds will also help to train physicians and continuing research. To learn more about what these funds will be used for, feel free to go to Turn the Corner’s Virtual Walk or their website.
