<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As much as 2012 was a historic year for Lyme disease advocacy, 2013 is set to be one of the most amazing years for the Lyme disease community- ever! There is so much going on and more and more people getting on board every single day, we are bound to see change happen. Not in this lifetime, not in the next decade, now!</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Letters for Lyme was started near the end of 2010 and now, over 2 1/2 years later is still going, although we recently have taken a longer break than usual due to health issues and scheduling difficulties (I have been dealing with treatment and focusing on other projects), but we are coming back full throttle with an all new letter-writing/email project that in an a change of style will remain ongoing as a semi-permanent project, this time with a much more focused campaign.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This campaign began as a project in conjunction with the <a href="http://worldwidelymediseaseprotestus.blogspot.com/">Worldwide Lyme Disease Protest US</a> which was spearheaded by Lisa Hilton along with many local volunteers. Events took place in some 20 different countries globally and many states in the US. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Letters for Lyme plans to stand beside our brothers and sisters all over the globe in the fight for more education, awareness, research, funding and better treatment by the medical establishment. We are here until victory is won for every single Lyme patient!</span><br />

<b><span style="font-size: small;"><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Currently the Lyme community is abuzz with talk of Lyme Disease legislation, in particular Senate Bill S. 1381, the Lyme and Tick-Borne Disease Prevention, Education and Research Act written by Senator Blumenthal of Connecticut that </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">"provides for the expansion of Federal efforts concerning the prevention, education,
treatment, and research activities related to Lyme and other tick-borne
diseases, including the establishment of a Tick-Borne Diseases Advisory
Committee", which is slowly working it’s way through the political system and has been gaining support throughout the year.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: small;"><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">However, even with all of this growing acknowledgement and awareness there is still a desperate need for individuals to stand up and let their voices be heard because without public outcry and continued outreach to our leaders and representatives change is only an idea!</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: small;"><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">If we want to live in a country where people suffering from tick-borne diseases are treated with respect and provided access to proper diagnosis and treatment we must not relent in our battle for recognition!</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: small;"><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Constituents must contact their representatives ask for their support to help push Lyme legislation along and must continue to do so until someone contacts you back or at least attempts to start a dialog about this very important and very timely issue.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: small;"><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">We must reach out to our leaders and demand they take a stand for patient equality, better funding for research and promote consistent and accurate education for the public, the medical establishment and government bodies nationwide, both at the state and federal level!</span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We must be the change we want to see in the world!!</span></b></u></span></div>

<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">We are at a defining point in Lyme Disease advocacy, where change is no longer just an idea, but an active process. However, in order to maintain this constant of progress people must continue to realize that it doesn't take a passionate movement to make a difference, but instead a movement of passionate individuals working together.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">It is time that we break out of the sentiment of "I am only one person!". Yes you are, but that does not limit your power to enact change upon the world.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">For every petition you ignore, letter you don't write or chance to educate another you pass up, you are letting this power go to waste. It's is not always massive protests or national campaigns with immense funding and celebrity spokesman that have the biggest impact. Sometime it's one person, just one, sharing their personal story of struggle that really hits home. A story that doesn't just define you as a disease or as part of a movement, but as person- a human being.</span></div>
