My name is Maura and I am 16 years old. I was diagnosed almost 2 years ago with Late Stage Lyme disease. Lyme disease has affected me neurologically, physically, and emotionally. It has challenged my life in so many ways. I have had to learn to live very differently than before and to pace myself every day. Learning to adjust and getting used to a new lifestyle has been difficult, but I have learned a lot about myself in the process.
With this event, I want to raise money to help others pay for treatment, offer support, and help other Lyme patients (especially teens) know they are NOT alone in this fight!
If I raise,
$50 I will paint my dad's fingernails Lyme green
$100 I will dye my horse's hair Lyme green with Manic Panic hair color
$200 I will let my mom do my makeup while she's blindfolded
$300 I will wear pajamas and slippers to school
$500 My whole cross country team will silly string our coach with Lyme green string
$600 I will run/walk 10 miles
$1000 My little sister has agreed to perform a song she wrote
