Press Kits, Vampires, Giveaway, Oh my!

Giveaway is closed & a winner is being chosen...thank you!  =)

Hi guys!

We've made great progress on the Lyme Awareness front...check out the amazing new Lyme PSA's (Public Service Announcements) that Lymenaide produced!  My favorite PSA is "poppy seed" because it illustrates just how small those pesky ticks are!

I don't know about you, but I've never seen a PSA on TV for Lyme disease, nor did I know about how to protect myself from getting it!  It's growing at an alarming rate across the globe and we think it deserves some air time!  Right now, across North America, there are 203 Lymenaide PSA Press Kits that are making their way into mailboxes & news stations.  46 volunteers in the Lyme community have stepped up & agreed to send their testimonial out with the Press Kits, in the hopes that the PSA will make it on the air.

Ashely, her husband & her dog Lucy all came to help me package up the Press Kits...well, Lucy did her part to recycle the boxes!  It was a steamy hot day in my cramped place, but we managed to get the bulk of the work done that day.  Sorry for the heat guys, I hope the cherries & goodie platter helped some!

The exciting part is that we are just getting started!  There are more Lyme awareness & activism projects in the pipeline & I am hope you'll be a part of them.  =)

The Vampire Diaries cast members have been tremendous supporters of our efforts & have been featured in many of the PSA's.  Check out this video montage one of their fans, @TVD_Chloe, made of our PSAs and posted on her YouTube Channel-



Chloe, along with many others, is offering a donation for each follower they receive on Twitter/Facebook, etc, so please check out LymeBites.com to for details...it's a simple way that you can help without having to spend any money!  =)


Okay, I'm feelin' all the love here & I do love a good giveaway.  It's high time I did one here on my blog so I'm offering up the last Red, Black & White Optical Delusion wallet of the series.  I sent one off to one of the cast members of The Vampire Diaries, so you'll have the companion to hers!  Have a look at what you can win...
