Lyme Lives Here Campaign 2014

A brief background on the Lyme Lives Here campaign:  

The Lyme Lives Here campaign is a combination of two initiatives that began in the United States and Australia:


As noted by Lisa: When talking to the Washington State, US Coordinators for the Worldwide Lyme Protest, they came up with some good ideas, one of which they had been doing for several years. Every year Lorraine and Anna Hart go stand outside with a sign that says, "Lyme Lives Here." When people inquire about what they are doing they hand them Lyme awareness brochures. 


For the Inaugural (2013) WWLP Protest, a 'Lyme Lives Here'  facebook "avatar" concept was conceptualised by Worldwide Lyme Protest - Australia Team members Tom Goddard and Sharon Whiteman and designed by Sim Hadad. Karen Smith, Australia's International representative, asked other country representatives to encourage worldwide participation in the campaign. 

As the original avatar came out with the Australian map, Sim provided Lisa and Karen with the "basic" avatar which they then altered  (the flags/map symbols) for the countries that wanted to participate and share the avatar on Facebook/ use in their profile pictures. 



In 2014, when planning on ways that would give people a way to participate from home, (either those that could not attend an event, or to make signs for an event), Lisa thought 
that by combining the two ideas into one big campaign, it would not only  give people a way to participate, it would also provide a unified campaign around the globe for International Lyme awareness.  



How To Participate
* You can stand outside with a sign for example, on an intersection or at a park, of course don't block obstruct traffic or thru traffic. 
* Hold up a sign at the mall, school, hospital grounds, or any public place. Check ahead to see if you need permission.
* Put a sign in your front yard. Next to it you could also put a place for people to take brochures.
* Take a photo and upload it to the facebook event page





Opposite: As well as the pictures from Canada (Countries A-E), the opposite you-tube video is made up of  photo submissions from Lyme patients and family in  Alberta, Canada.
