Avril Lavigne is determined to use her fight with Lyme disease to achieve two goals. Just turned 31 (her birthday was Sunday), Avril has kick-started a campaign that will provide more awareness to the condition while offering support to others who, like Lavigne, are struggling to recover, reported People.
The campaign will last for five weeks, with the Avril Lavigne Foundation as the organization involved. And a grand prize winner will earn a speaking part in Charming, which is an animated film. To provide the chance to win the coveted role in her new movie, Avril is working with Prizeo, an online fundraising platform.
“I’m excited that this year’s campaign is supporting people with Lyme disease and helping others to better understand this issue,” said the singer.
