Let's spread the word!!

Hi All!!
I received an email asking for our help in spreading the word about a concert to bring awareness to Lyme Disease and other tick-borne illnesses!!!

This is supposed to work just like the concert that brought all of that attention to AIDS.

This a great opportunity for all of us to get involved in something big!! So let's all do what we can do to get this info to the Lyme Disease support groups all over the world!!

Here is a copy of the email:

Dear Dr. McManus

I'll send this to various support groups and see what we can come up with.

Subject: Lyme Aid Concert worldwide

Dear Lyme crusaders,

Nikki Coleman kindly gave me your email addresses.
I am from Australia. My husband died from Lyme disease complications because the Aust government denies the existence of Lyme disease in Australia. I founded the Karl Mcmanus Foundation for Lyme Disease research and awareness ( www.karlmcmanusfoundation.org.au).

I have contacted the Norwegian, Danish, German Lyme disease associations and we are proposing to contact Sir Bob Geldof to recruit musicians to have a Lyme Aid concert globally. I was wondering if you could also lobby Bob Geldof to to organise a Lyme Aid concert. We can have a huge global event so that governments take notice of Lyme disease worldwide.

This applies to Africa where the symptoms of Lyme disease is confused with malaria and the medical system don't know anything about Lyme yet Africa has one of the most lethal strains of Lyme- B. crocidurae. Ticks occur in every continent in the world even in Antarctica. Hence Lyme Borreliosis is a global problem.

Let us all work together as one BODY so we can have the maximum persuasive power in the global sense. Have Lyme disease legitimised so sufferers can be diagnosed and treated before it becomes chronic.

I am attaching a letter I have written representing Australia. If you write one representing your State and send it to the email address on the letter for Bob Geldof's agent we can persuade him about the seriousness of Lyme neuroborreliosis.

Please help to spread this message to other associations and then if you have contacts you can recruit rock bands , rock stars to play for this very worthwhile cause, Lyme Borreliosis.

Best regards

Dr Mualla McManus
