Vote for the Lyme Disease Awareness Car
The Lyme Disease Awareness Race Car moved into 1st place for the most number of votes on Sunday evening! Our car is also now featured on the “Most Votes” page for everyone to see! BUT we still need to keep the voting up.
Number of votes currently- 9290 (voting open 4 more days)
2nd place car, number of votes- 6,891 (voting closed)
Number of times someone clicked on the Lyme Disease Awareness Race Car to get a close up view- 9,600 (+)
Approximate number of visitors to the website where our car is located (since we entered the contest)- 3,000,000 (Yes! 3 MILLION)
In 10 days over 1,500 people visited the website dedicated to Dr. Jones and the children with Lyme, due to the Lyme Disease Awareness Race Car efforts. That is wonderful!
IT IS IMPORTANT to keep voting each day!

Currently there are over 32,000 cars entered in the race. The dead line to enter a new car will have passed by the time you get this notice (midnight Sunday, March 20, 2011).
We currently have 4 more days left to vote on our race car (15 days allotted originally). We need to try to bring up the number of votes as high as possible. It is important to keep voting each day because there are a number of cars with 1- 15 days left to get votes. Some of the race cars are closing on us quickly and could pass us once our voting period ends.
(Thank you to Phyllis for sharing this info so I could pass it on.)
New Wisconsin Lyme Websites
I wanted to let people know that there are a few new Lyme websites listed on the right hand side of this page.
- One of them was called Lyme Events but now is called What is Lyme, and it’s a website listing events from all over the place that relate to Lyme Disease. Information about the disease and many co-infections. A big thank you to Lisa for putting this together. It’s a great resource. The link below goes to the Wisconsin portion but the site has listings from other states and countries too.
- The second is the Wisconsin Lyme Network website. It even has a chat room. This is a developing website because it is so new so it is a bit bare right now. But, go check it out, because it already has some great info on it. Both of the sites are put together by volunteers. A big thank you to Rhonda for letting us use the WisconsinLyme domain name. She has the “.com” version and the new “.net” version is based off of it. Hopefully this will become a clearing house of sorts for Wisconsin Lyme resources and information. Rhonda has put on several events including a Lyme bike ride and Under Our Skins documentary screenings and the “.com” site still has information on past events she organized.
