Worldwide Lyme Protest May 10th & 11th 2013
New South Wales: Coffs Harbour - Awareness Event, May 11th.
The Days Events and Photos
The Days Round-up: In Coffs Harbour, New South Wales, the weather was a little unkind with intermittent showers throughout the morning. Despite the rainy weather however, the NSW North Coast team ensured that the Lyme word was spread, with around around 100 Lyme patients, their families and friends gathering to raise public awareness of Lyme and co-infections. Hundreds of brochures were handed out, tick repellent clothing was sold and there was raffles to raise money for Lyme research.
