LAFFEY LYME TRUST
Lyme disease is a bacterial infection that is passed on from infected ticks to humans. Animals like deer, sheep, mice etc are liable to carry these ticks, which are blood suckers, and if the animals which carry these ticks are infected the ticks can pass on the infection to people who may come into contact with the animals. Areas like woodlands and heathlands is a popular location for ticks.
Lyme disease can be extremely difficult to diagnose as it can have similar symptoms of many other ailments which can lead the diagnoses down blind alleys.
It is also a very serious ailment. It can produce serve symptoms that affect various parts of the body such as joints, nerves, brain, eyes, and heart.
On the 8th of June, Fiona Magennis of the D.I wrote an article in the Drogheda independent about two sisters from Curraha, Siobhan and Clodagh Laffey; 25 yrs. of age and 20 yrs. of age respectively who had been diagnosed with Lyme disease. Both sisters are receiving treatment in Germany where there is a greater chance of getting their lives back on track again. It won’t be an over night solution the treatment can be somewhat prolonged before satisfactory results can be achieved.
The Curragh community have set up a trust to raise funds to help Siobhan and Clodagh cover the high costs involved in treatment and accommodation while in Germany. The name of the fund is the Laffey Lyme trust. One can support the girls by making a donation. Bank details for the trust are as follows; Clodagh & Siobhan Laffey Trust, AIB Ashbourne, sort code: 932396
