Worldwide Lyme Protest - How it Started, and Steamrolled...
On the 24th Of October 2012 three countries Joined Facebook to spread the word about protesting for Lyme Awareness. These were: Sweden, Denmark and Norway.
The Swedish organiser, Charlotte Therese Björnström, saw the need of thousands of people suffering around the world, and had a dream to take the action much further than the Scandinavian borders. From this initial idea, the Worldwide Protest Main Facebook Page was developed on the 31st of October, 2012 in order to connect people from all over the world to see if this dream could be realized.
From Charlotte's initial "grass roots" initiative, representatives from countries all around the world have joined forces, with the United States representative, Lisa Hilton, and the Australian representative, Karen Smith, joining to help Charlotte ensure her vision was fulfilled, with the development of the international website, and assistance with keeping up to date with all participating countries and their events.
