Bay Area Lyme Foundation’s LymeAid® Brings Celebrities and Scientists Together To Help Accelerate Medical Breakthroughs for Lyme Disease
Commentary: I just returned from the Bay Area Lyme Foundation’s charity event. LymeAid 2015 raised $600,000 for research projects to find a cure for Lyme disease. There were Hollywood celebrities, philanthropists, scientists and patients present. I was asked to sing my tick song, affectionately called by one of the attendees “The Lyme Anthem”, and for the first (and probably the last time) was the opening act for Huey Lewis and the News (who are fabulous in concert!). There is a video present on the site with photos of the gala. A large thanks goes out to Sherry and Laird Cagan who hosted the event at their home, and Linda Giampa and Bonnie Crater, co-founders of the Bay Area Lyme Foundation for organizing the event. Many wonderful and warm people came together to help find a cure for this devastating disease. Scroll down on the site to see all of the photos and videos.
