Largest Online Holiday Season Blanket Fort Party!

We realise a lot of Lyme patients feel lonely during the holidays. Being unable to get to family get togethers can leave us feeling isolated. But thanks to the online Lyme community, we can work through this and form a family of our own to spend time with. So for this Holiday season, on *December 25th we invite you to join us for the largest online blanket fort party ever seen!
 *International time zones mean this will start on the 24th in some countries, and finish on the 26th in others: see below for time zone examples



How to Participate

WLBA will be hosting an online chat on the Facebook event Click Here to go to page

WLBA will also be hosting live Google Video Chats
See the Facebook Event Page for times
Hosting Volunteers Needed!
As this is an international event, and there are different time zones we are looking for hosts on December 24th to the 26th (see time zone examples below). If you would be interested in hosting for an hour or two on these days, please let us know. We would be happy to have multiple hosts at any given time as we know it is hard to commit to anything not knowing how we will feel at any given time.

Please join us! You don't have to be alone for the holidays.
Lets have some fun and celebrate together!
