LYME MEDIA CAMPAIGN
The Lyme community is launching a photo campaign to get more media attention for Lyme.
We're asking people to take a photo of themselves
holding a sign that says, "I am one of the 300,000 plus annual Lyme patients being ignored by the CDC and HMOs."
Please email your photos to: lyme300000@yahoo.com
Examples of photos:http://www.flickr.com/groups/
We will develop the photos and send them to 4 major news outlets.
If you can, we're asking people to donate $1 or $2 on PayPal to help cover photo development costs: http://
