Virginia: Marjorie MacArthur Veiga

 

 

Within these groups of individuals 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” ~ Marjorie MacArthur Veiga

Marjorie MacArthur Veiga is a Lyme patient in remission, an author, a wife, and the mother of two daughters, one a teenager recovering from chronic Lyme. Marjorie started and led support groups for Lyme families in Loudoun and Fairfax Counties (Virginia) in 2004. She has served on the board of the National Capital Lyme and Tick Borne Disease Association as a support group leader, fundraiser, and media relations volunteer. Prior to these roles, she was a senior project manager at Verizon and the co-founder and board member of a women’s nonprofit health association. She and her family reside in Fairfax County, Virginia.

As a way of thanking the Lord for her healing, and in an effort to help her doctor’s patients and others, she has co-authored a resource manual for families challenged by the complexities of chronic tick borne infections. It contains input from doctors, patients, caregivers and parents. My Lyme Guide is available at www.mylymeguide.com.
