Someone I know. OK, a young woman whose father called me and who then met me at a support group. OK, a father who called me because my husband played tennis with a co-worker of his. Well, you know how small this world is when you meet someone else with a “rare” (shrug, smile, wink) condition like Lyme. Anyway, this person (drum roll) –Silver Feldman– who missed a large chunk of high school because of Lyme and who turned 21 this last month took a graphic design class. Guess what her topic was? Don't you just love it when people give back to the community?

This graphic is her design.  I think it is great.  I love the slogan:  Lyme isn’t everywhere, but it could be anywhere.  Isn’t that true?  Silver got Lyme in Southern California.  Malibu to be precise.  It’s an endemic area.  Who knew?  Lyme isn’t everywhere, but it could be anywhere.  It’s so true.   

I liked the design and slogan so much I made a tee shirt from it.  No, two.  One for me and one for Silver.  Drop me a comment or email if you think we should print up more!
