The Final Stretch..
Well Guys, it's been an eventful spring that hasn't allowed for much running, but i am happy to report that i have actually gone running a couple times this week, and am planning to keep it up. officially i will walk the 5K, but we'll see what happens! Jupiter, my rescue puppy is loving being back on the trail with me too :) We'd love to meet the goal of $300 to add to ILC's fundraising goal for lyme research and awareness, so if you can, please contribute something. Even a dollar or 5 helps!!
TEAM ILC is running in the One America 500 Festival Mini Marathon to raise funds that pay for physician education on Lyme disease in Indiana. Lyme everywhere and you are at risk! Learn more at http://www.indianalymeconnect.org/
Hi! I'm Vanessa Rae, and I didn't realize I had chronic Lyme until almost TWO YEARS after my diagnosis, which came at least 14 years after infection. For years I dismissed my symptoms as the aches and pains of living a full life as a mom and entrepreneur, or attributed them to real health issues that weren't the root of the problem but were themselves actually symptoms of chronic Lyme-MSIDS. Now that I am more educated, I realize I have suffered from at least one seizure and one minor stroke due to Lyme, and that I have extensive neuro-degeneration... Even more devastating is the realization that Lyme is affecting my daughter, and that she likely is struggling with congenital Lyme on top of being a typical American teen!
 I'm starting to get a handle on my health with a lot of time and focus. Staying active is an essential part of my self-care routine and this mini-marathon even is a convenient way to do this while supporting a cause near and dear to my heart. Thank you for your support and donations toward the search for a cure to Lyme Disease!
