Dear Friends,

Urgent! I must raise $90,000 by July 14, 2008 and an additional $110,000 by

August 10 in order to retain the legal team which has been representing me. If

these sums are not raised, I will not be able to continue defending the charges

brought against me by the Connecticut Department of Public Health for my

treatment of children with Lyme disease, and I fear that I will be forced by the

Connecticut Medical Examining Board to resign my license to practice medicine

and to retire. This must not happen!

I understand all too well the considerable hardship that Lyme disease has

imposed on too many families, and regret the need to appeal to you yet again for

donations to my legal defense fund. Yet the prospect of surrendering this

critical fight is more daunting: If I do not continue to oppose these charges,

how many more physicians will be left vulnerable to similar charges for their

treatment of Lyme disease? How many more sick children will be abandoned?

I recognize that the figure of $200,000 appears overwhelming. However:

· If 10,000 families contribute $20, we will be able to meet our goal;

· If 4,000 give $50, we will be able to meet our goal;

· If 2,000 give $100, we will be able to meet our goal;

· If every member of the Lyme community gives something, we will reach

this goal!!!

I am confident that we can succeed, but I need the help of each and every one of

you. Time is of the essence and you must respond today. In return, I pledge to

you that I will not give up this fight.

With my greatest appreciation,

Dr.

Ray , M.D.
