Lyme Away for Jill

Donation protected

I love my sister. Some may call us "twins": Hey we do look alike and act alike. I mean we are only 22 months apart, we can be twins right? 

My sister and best friend was recently diagnosed with Lyme Disease. I have never know much about it until recently. One thing I can say is the byproduct is awful. Jill has trouble working, caring for her family, living day to day life. Jill use to be an avid athlete. She has complete 2 half iron-man's, numerous marathons, and countless half marathons. However, now she struggles to run 4 miles. 

I am reaching out to my family and friends to try to help raise some money for Jill to seek the treatment she needs to be "the old Jill" we all once knew. She has done the research to try to find a local treatment which is still at least $5000 (which insurance does not cover). The main treatment goal if that doesn't work would be at least $10,000. 

I am asking for your help in supporting my sister and "twin" to get her the help she needs and deserves.
