Thank you to the NYC Worldwide Lyme Rally Volunteers from Vanessa Holden

I’m really honoured to have had the opportunity to work with Lisa Hilton (US Coordinator, Worldwide 

 Lyme Disease Awareness Rally (Protest) ) and Charlotte Björnström (Worldwide Coordinator, Worldwide Lyme Disease Awareness Protest). A special thank you to  Rachelle R Holden, Dr. Kenneth B. Liegner, and Jill Auerbach – I don’t know how I could have done it without all your help and support!
