How the Worldwide Lyme Disease Awareness Protest Got Started
And here is how this whole thing got started! Thank you Karen Smith from Australia for piecing this together.
Worldwide Lyme Protest - How it Started, and Steamrolled...
The Swedish organiser, Charlotte Therese Björnström, (who has struggled for 25 years with Lyme and other infections) saw the need of thousands of people suffering around the world, and had a dream to take the action much further than the Scandinavian borders. From this initial idea, the Worldwide Protest Main Facebook Page was developed on the 31st of October, 2012 in order to connect people from all over the world to see if this dream could be realised.
From Charlotte's intial "grass roots" initiative, representatives from countries all around the world have joined in, with the United States representative, Lisa Hilton and the Australian representative, Karen Smith, joining to help Charlotte ensure her vision was fufilled, with the development of the international website, and helping to keep up to date with all country representatives and events. Every country representive and associated co-ordinators have worked together tirelessly over the last few months to ensure that this event achieves its purpose: To highlight the fact that there are thousands of people all around the world that are calling for recogniton that Lyme and other tick-borne diseases are serious illnesses.
