When it comes to understanding the impact that Lyme Disease has on the lives of individuals and families, there’s no better source of reference than going straight to the proverbial horse’s mouth. That’s why in October of 2014, we launched “The Big Green Heart Tour” – a campaign to bring awareness to the eight hundred and twenty-two people diagnosed with Lyme Disease every single day.
In thirty days we traveled over 10,000 miles and interviewed more than seventy Lyme Fighters in over twenty states. And that was just our first trip! We hope to do many more. In fact, our goal is to show people the impact that one single day has on the lives of eight hundred and twenty-two people, which is why we’re going to keep planning trips until we’ve met and interviewed eight hundred and twenty-two Lyme Fighters.
Check out the gallery below to learn about the Lyme Fighters we’ve met so far (more pictures coming soon!)and subscribe to our YouTube channel to be the first to know when we’ve started posting the interviews (coming May 2015).

October 14, 2014:12:30am! Just met up with bad-ass Lyme Warrior, Christine, who despite having endured years of misdiagnoses and neglect from the medical community, still radiates positivity and joy. Unable to afford the care she deserves, she's taken matters into her own hands and has started doing yoga and reading books on treating Lyme in hopes of finding ways to ease her symptoms. An avid "green living" blogger, proud mother and loving wife, Christine makes a point to rock Lyme with style (check out her feed to see her awesome pimped-up wheel chair). She hopes one day to put her culinary degree to use by owning a food truck, and we're all for that after the awesome food recommendations her and her awesome hubby shared. On to Missoula!!! (Incidentally, Christine's home town.) Big love to this awesome warrior!
