You can help save a life and not even get inconvenienced

Some of you know - and some of you don't - that my amazing and talented friend, comrade and poet Fran Varian has late stage lyme disease. In fact - many many americans have this disease at the late stage, which causes a whole host of evil and pain and for the most part (because it's so expensive to treat) the insurance companies try to bury the existence of the illness. There are bills in congress now to help rectify the situation - but as so much of what happens in the States happens via the court of public opinion - the fact that Oprah is considering doing a show on Lyme Disease - could be the knight in shining armor that these folks need.

So what do you do?
I got four suggestions, three of them free and all taking from 30 seconds to five minutes. Not bad to help save a life right?

First - repost this post in your journal, blog, facebook doohickey to spread the word (FREE, 30 seconds)
Second - you can watch a clip from this documentary to get a good sense of what the disease is and what we're talking about. (FREE, 3 1/2 mins)

Third: Send a Post to Oprah via HP and the film makers here http://www.oprah.com/community/thread/101903?start=0&tstart=0
(FREE, 2-5 mins)
( Oprah Details )

Fourth: Donate specifically to Fran's Health Care - http://www.helphealfran.org/
