We are excited to announce that Governor Bob McDonnell has proclaimed May 2010 to be Lyme disease awareness month in Virginia . A copy of the proclamation is attached. The proclamation request was submitted by the National Capital Lyme and Tick-Borne Disease Association. The Governor accepted all of our recommendations for inclusion in his proclamation.

It is our hope that this designation for the month of May will raise the awareness of tick-borne diseases and preventative measures among all Virginians, and all who dwell in the Mid-Atlantic Region.

Virginians should help spread the word that May is Lyme disease awareness month.
