Kelly's Heroes was a group established in support of Kelly Downing and her family.
Kelly Downing was diagnosed earlier this year with Chronic Lyme disease which has left her partially paralyzed and totally disabled from work as an intensive special needs teacher. Kelly receives daily treatment in an effort to win this battle and regain her life as Josh’s devoted wife and energetic/loving mother to Tyler and Ryan.
With your support, Kelly can continue to receive the necessary medical treatment in her daily battle against this terrible, yet treatable disease. This family needs your help and support. Kelly’s spirit and determination remains strong; however the necessary doctor visits and the length/amount of treatments required for Chronic Lyme disease are often uncovered by insurance companies.
Let’s all stand together in support of this incredible woman who is determined to win this fight.
When life gives you lemons (or Lyme), God gives you Heroes!!!
FYI - I assume you are not aware of this, but you have a link on this site to the ALDF (American Lyme Disease Foundation) which vehemently denies the existence of chronic lyme disease, and has Dr. Wormser, Dr. Shapiro, and other lyme denialists on the board. I am sure you don't want to provide information from this site to people seeking valuable information on chronic lyme disease complex. Here is their statement about Under Our Skin: "It depicts the plight of patients claimed to be suffering from a poorly defined condition called “chronic Lyme disease”, and champions the unproven benefits of extended antibiotic therapy for its treatment... Lyme disease is not a lethal, life-threatening disease as the funerals and memorial services shown in the film shamelessly and dishonestly portray it to be (5)."
