At the age of 12. Sam fell ill to chronic Lyme Disease and other chronic Tick-Borne Infections, like Bartonella and Mycoplasma. These are stealth-like bacterial infections elude the immune system and are highly complicated to get diagnosed, get appropriately treated, and get properly recognized by most medical professionals. Sam was so scarily sick that he was medically homebound from school for 3 years. A teacher had to come to his house to teach him English and Math only until he was strong enough to go back to school. Even returning to school he had a modified school schedule to allow his body to have shorter school days due to his severe fatigue and compromised immune system. After finding Lyme Literate doctors to help him heal, Sam has treated the multiple infections and strengthened his immune system for several years. He continues to detox while maintaining a healthy lifestyle to reach partial remission of this chronic disease. Even though Sam feels like he is 85% better, he has to be careful exposing himself to more than his immune system can handle to prevent a Lyme, Bartonella, and Mycoplasma flare.
Not necessarily. Most cases of Lyme Disease and Tick-Borne Infections are acquired from a bite of an infected tick. However, some sufferers can acquire these chronic infections congenitally, from mother to unborn child. Sam's mother had a known tick bite just before becoming pregnant with Sam's older sister, who has also been severely ill at the same time from these numerous deadly infections as well as his mother. All 3 family members have been fighting together to combat these hard-to-treat chronic infections. Sam has had to learn to fight for his life as well as be a caretaker at the same time with so many family members severely sick at the same time.
To say Sam has a mission to drive towards, is an understatement. Sam, with the help of his family, is an advocate, and hopefully one day, he will be an ambassador for Chronic Lyme Disease and Other Chronic Tick-Borne Infections, which is a pandemic throughout the world. Shedding light on prevention, awareness and calling out for more funding for research is crucial. Nearly 1/2 a million new cases of Lyme Disease alone are reported by the CDC per calendar year. Year after year, that is an unbelievable amount of people infected. Many do not get properly diagnosed and suffer silently. Many others are misdiagnosed with other conditions. Sam is driven to help find a cure and will continue to use his racing platform to bring attention to this cause like his life depends on it.
