2013 Booze-N-Clues 1st Annual Bar & Beach Scavenger Hunt to Combat Lyme Disease
As Seen on KNBC-TV Community Rallies to Help Local Woman Fight Lyme
Disease
The Friends of Renee Fundraising Committee bring you the 2013 Booze-N-Clues 1st
Annual Bar & Beach Scavenger Hunt to Combat
Lyme Disease
Our close friend Renee Avis of Redondo
Beach has been battling Lyme disease diagnosed in 2011, yet suffered with it as
an undiagnosed condition since 2008. Her health insurance does not cover the $3,000
monthly costs for medical treatments. The Friends of Renee Fundraising
Committee organize several fundraisers a year to help cover those costs. Renee
has made progress, but she still has a long road of recovery ahead of her. We
hope you participate in our latest fundraiser that combines fun with Lyme
disease awareness.
