“Hey, I'm glad you stopped by!"                    

I hope you will be blessed by my personal experience with Lyme disease, as well as the Lyme disease educational info on my site.  Scroll down this page to see the details of my upcoming Lyme charity event in September...

My family continually adds more evidence-based science and educational materials on the  "Lyme Disease Education" tab (click on tab above) as they are published.   We are often asked to speak and show the award winning Lyme documentary entitled "Under Our Skin", produced by Open Eye Pictures.  My family serve as volunteer national Lyme disease educators.

My home page is dedicated to current events in our outreach. 

As I continue the fourth year in treatment for late stage Lyme disease, my desire is to use a gift that the Lord has given me and turn it back to Him. 

When I was not able to move, walk or leave my home from the debilitating and complex problems that came with my own journey and battle, I began to draw.  First, landscapes and objects; but that soon turned to fashion and clothing designs.  I am currently a 2nd year part-time student under the Fashion/Retail Management Bachelor's program with the Art Institute of Pittsburgh Online Division.  

This past year, as I have been able, I have been working towards a Lyme disease charity fashion runway event to raise research dollars for a Lyme Disease Association- grant funded research project near and dear to my heart.  This project is moving towards the hoped for a gold standard test for Lyme at any stage of the disease, using new technologies.  While the research has a little ways to go; it is well underway and part of the research and development that  patients and doctors need.  I want everything that I do to serve a purpose.

On Saturday, September 11, 2010,  my first runway charity Lyme event featuring some of my designs will premier.  100% of the ticket sales (200-250 guests), as well as three of my designs (to be auctioned at a later date) will go towards this research project.  A sponsorship letter has also been written on behalf of this event.  Please click the tab above for that info. 

I cannot do this without you!      

God bless, Heather Rose
