FYI -- The Philadelphia Daily News wrote a short article on the Under Our Skin screening in Bryn Mawr tomorrow night (9/29, 7:30pm), 824 W. Lancaster Avenue, Bryn Mawr, PA, 19010. Dr. C was interviewed, and I've been in contact with the journalist regarding a follow-up to this story, that focuses on some of the local stories. As part of this -- please log on to this story and add a comment with your personal experience with Lyme disease -- let them know this really is a bigger story. http://www.philly.com/philly/entertainment/20090928__Skin__deep.html

The Main Line Times has also covered the story, primarily just as a featured film.

If you can, make it to the screening, and let others know about it. The panel discussion afterwards, in addition to Dr. C, will also feature a Temple University Professor addressing the ethical issues in the current situation with Lyme - these are not "hypothetical" but rather real and immediate concerns to many affected by Lyme disease.

Ok I think I got an email out to evreyone who posted from PA on the "Where is everybody from" thread. I told them about this post and so they can come look at it if they want. Some didn't have emails so couldn't let them know. Hope this helps.

Thank you Julie, for helping to broaden the education in PA. We're S.Central; but cheering our Eastern friends on to get their stories published. If u need additional support, feel free to email me.
