Karen Smith (Co-founder) of Global Lyme & Invisible Illness Organisation (GLiIO) will be attending an afternoon tea with the Prime Minister of Australia this afternoon (Monday 15th February). Thank you to Federal Member for Dawson George Christensen for the opportunity to attend this event and represent people living with Lyme Borreliosis and other vector-borne Illness.
Updated :  Click Here to See Facebook Post on the Afternoon Tea. ​

The Post updating how the afternoon tea went garnered a lot of attention, with over 630 'likes', 120+ shares and more than 135 comments from the Australian and Global Lyme community. Thank you to everyone for all the support for myself and for the families of those we have lost. 


​On Behalf of International Red Shoe Day: A day of Remembrance division of GLiIO, Karen will present Scott Chant’s Senate Inquiry submission that was written not long before his passing last week. Scott was a much loved and respected member of the Australian Lyme community and his loss has been profoundly felt by many. Please keep his family and friends in your hearts at this difficult time.

Along with Scott’s Submission Karen will also be presenting a folder with research that she has written, as well as links to articles written by other organisations/associations and information provided by those that were able to do so at short notice. Thank you to Multi Systemic Infectious Disease Syndrome Inc.,(MSIDS), Sarcoidosis Lyme Australia, Ruby Red Trust and Chrysalis.

Before co-founding GLiIO with American friend and Advocate Lisa Hilton, the majority of Karen’s advocacy and Research was performed under the banner of Lyme Australia Recognition and Awareness (LARA)

One of the Research articles, written in 2012 being presented is: Lyme Disease: A Counter Argument to the Australian Government’s Denial: http://www.lymeaustralia.com/counter-argument-k-smith.html
