President and founder of the Canadian Lyme Disease Foundation.
I contracted Lyme disease in 1991 and my daughter in 2001. This is a rare disease in Canada the doctors told me yet here were two people in one family, a decade apart and 5000 kilometers apart who magically contracted this rare disease.
Hence the formation of the foundation...and thousands of affected Canadians.
My name is Melissa. I am fighting a debilitating, controversial and extremely misunderstood disease: Advanced Lyme Disease. I am fighting for my life, for my family (who I may have infected) and for justice and treatment for my fellow lyme Fighters. We will be victorious!
