Take a Bite of Lyme

Today was the most exhausting but inspiring days I have had at WAC. As many of you know, in my quest to treat my own Lyme disease, I have delved into a controversial and complex debate about Lyme treatment and medical rights in the state of Maryland. Today, at WAC Spring Fling, the WAC Maryland Student Legislature hosted a "Take a Bite Out of Lyme" campaign. The "Take a Bite out of Lyme" Campaign is a movement to raise awareness and money for Lyme Disease. The funds go to a program that trains physicians on how to properly identify and treat Lyme Disease. We were lucky enough to find a company to sponsor our campaign and donate $10 for every bite we take out of Lyme disease. Although the company would like to stay anonymous due to the controversy surrounding the issue, I would like to express how gracious and excited I am for their support. I haven't counted out exactly how many videos we made but based on how many limes we used I am predicting about 60-90 videos/bites. This would amount to over $750 for Lyme research and education. I want to thank the MSL team, the WAC Residence Life for hosting Spring Fling, and all the participants for helping us greatly surpass our goal. This is the momentum we need! An edited video and exact amount of funds is coming soon!
