Alex's Story
"After ten years of being misdiagnosed and labeled a 'medical mystery', Alex Hudson passed away on March 24, 2018 at the tender age of 22. It wasn’t until May of 2017 that Alex was properly diagnosed with Lyme disease and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). Sadly, by that point, the years of battling Lyme disease had taken its toll on her body. From her bed, Alex would ask the same question over and over again: 'Are the doctors going to be able to help me?'
A vibrant young woman who was known for her servant’s heart, Alex had been eager to further her education and attend UCLA with a full-ride scholarship. Unfortunately, Lyme disease and MCAS rerouted her path and she spent her final months rallying as a Lyme warrior. When she came to the realization that God had other plans for her, she asked her mother and best friend, Jody Hudson, to lead her crusade against Lyme disease and MCAS. The Alex Hudson Lyme Foundation was born out of Alex’s final wishes."
