(Note:  I'm pasting this here from another discussion list!  Let's DO IT!)

How can you detox, exercise, chat with friends, and raise money at the same time?

By walking in May, Lyme Disease Awareness Month, or
by giving to those who do!

Here is the website for the Walk Against Lyme Disease:

http://health. groups.yahoo. com/group/ WalkAgainstLymeD isease/

It is a Yahoo email group.

Sign up, and you will receive links to 3 documents: the cover
letter, a pledge sheet, and a How This Works sheet. That should help explain it all for you. If you cannot walk, please come to the website to make a pledge.

You will need 4 people to make a team. They can be people you will walk with, or people from anywhere in the world, connected only by email. Designate one person to be the team leader.

Walk as much or as little as you want during the month of May.   Collect pledges and donations to support your walk. Tell the group how it's going -- if you went anywhere neat, met anyone cool, or learned anything profound because of your Walk.

Have your team leader report your team's miles each week. The LOSING team will have to donate an additional $100 ($25 each) to a Lyme cause. You lose, everybody wins!

Feel free to pass this information around to Lyme groups in your
area. The more people get into this across the country, the easier it is to raise funds and increase awareness.

Let's have fun with this!

Walkies,

Walk Against Lyme Disease

P.S. -- I have uploaded the 3 documents to this site as well.
Please get involved -- we are the leaders, so let's lead! Please
pass this letter and the documents along to your support groups as well.
