A 2013 graduate of Bard College’s Written Arts Department, Allie Cashel is a first-time author. Her book began as her senior thesis project at Bard College and was developed into a full-length memoir which details her own experience, and also shares the stories of a number of other chronic Lyme patients from around the world, acting as a living portrait of the disease and its patients’ struggles for recognition and treatment. She is a passionate advocate for increased awareness and Lyme treatment reform. Meeting will begin with Allie speaking about her story, reading from her book and will be followed by open discussion.
