What You Can Do

We know not everyone can show up at a protest or rally. Some patients are homebound and can only participate from home or online. Each state or country may vary in what campaigns they are involved in. 

• Physical Events- Protests, Rallies, Walks, Awareness Booths- Click Here for Event Information in your country.

• Lyme Lives Here Campaign- On the weekend of May 16-18th, make a sign that says, “Lyme Lives Here.” You can put it in your yard. Or you can go someplace publicly like your town sign, a medical center, the Public Health Building, be creative, go in a group or do it individually. We would like a picture from every state and country around the world with someone holding a “Lyme Lives Here” sign. Make sure to put your town, state or country on it! You can purchase a yard sign here.  Feel free to customize it too add your location!

• Google Album Campaign- Simply click this “We Are The Millions” and add your picture. You can add your story or a link to your blog or website in the comment section under your picture.

• Add Yourself to the Lyme Patient Map- Just click HERE and add yourself to the Lyme Map. The point of this map is to show where Lyme patients live and need help and medical care. It is not to show where Lyme was contracted so just add where you live now. We want to show that this is a global problem.

• Ribbons Across the World- This is simple, just tie up a lime green ribbon on your mail box, front door or a tree in your front yard. Ask local retailers, banks, schools or libraries to hang one up on their doors too. Click Here for pictures from last year. 

• Samantha’s Green Porch Light Campaign-Switch your porch light to a green bulb for May! Very simple and easy to do. If you are more rambunctious, feel free to contact any public buildings to see if they will do this too!  Click Here for picture from last year. 

• Getting a proclamation for your state or country for May being Lyme Awareness Month- Many states or provinces already have a proclamation, but if yours doesn’t, this is a project you can work on. See if your state has a proclamtion already by clicking here.
