Lyme disease, caused by the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi, is a rapidly emerging infectious disease spread by ticks. The CDC now estimates there are 476,000 new cases in the United States each year. Now, more than ever, it is important to spread awareness and hope.

Project Lyme is a 501c3 nonprofit with a mission to eradicate the epidemic of Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses by spreading awareness, providing educational resources, funding peer-reviewed research, and supporting advocacy for solutions to end the suffering. Since 2016, Project Lyme has challenged misinformation about diagnosis and treatment, advocated for patients? rights, and built a community for Lyme patients as well as their loved ones.
