Each day of May for Lyme Awareness Month in 2015, whatislyme.com would like to recognize someone in the Lyme community that has done something to try to help the Lyme community. There are several “unsung heroes” in our community and we would like to just offer them a little recognition and make sure that their achievements and efforts don’t go unnoticed.
Today we would like to honor Laurie Myers!
Laurie has done a lot to bring about Lyme disease awareness in Arizona and in online support groups. She’s has also coordinated protests and rallies and worked with the Mayo clinic trying to educate them about Lyme disease.
