What Olivia Goodreau discovers through her journey with chronic Lyme , and what she has been sharing with the world, is that inside of every predicament is also a possibility. This is the story of how Olivia turned the physical challenges and emotional hardships she had faced since she was a little girl into an engaged life of advocacy for others. Olivia became mysteriously sick in second grade and saw her world change forever. Activities she had loved were no longer possible. Friends she had counted on disappeared. Doctors could not figure out what was the matter or how to help her feel better. But Olivia never gave up. Eventually, she would find not only a diagnosis and a treatment, but a purpose for her life. She became committed to helping others protect themselves from tick-borne diseases and heal their chronic illness, too. She began meeting with doctors and politicians around the country, advocating for new policies, raising money to support other families struggling with Lyme, and creating apps to help others like herself. Olivia offers hope and inspiration to young people meeting all kinds of challenges--from the ordinary ups and downs of schoolyard bullying to the exceptional challenges of illness and despair. Olivia was determined to get better...and she did. Not only that, a great part of her healing consisted of helping others feel better too. She shows young people what is possible when you are determined to succeed. We don't have to accept the way things are. We can change them."--Jacket flap. 600 10 $a Goodreau, Olivia, $d 2005- 650 0 $a Lyme disease $x Patients $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Lyme disease. 650 0 $a Ticks as carriers of disease. 650 0 $a Chronic diseases. 650 7 $a Chronic diseases. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00860072 650 7 $a Lyme disease. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01004246 650 7 $a Lyme disease $x Patients. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01004249 650 7 $a Ticks as carriers of disease. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01150752 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 700 1 $a Malachowski, Nicole M.E., $e writer of foreword 941 $a 2 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314025227.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20230802013332.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=91ABA81630FC11EEBC3B3D423BECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
