Supporting the Lyme Disease is an initiative close to our hearts. Lyme Disease is known as “the great imitator,” as it imitates a plethora of different diseases. Because of this, people are often misdiagnosed before being correctly diagnosed with Lyme Disease. The sooner Lyme Disease is diagnosed, the more effectively it can be treated. Every day is crucial, and thus research and funding are vital to finding out more about this debilitating disease and a cure for it.

About Lyme Disease  

Lyme Disease occurs in three stages: early localized, early disseminated and late disseminated. However the stages can overlap and not all patients go through all three. A bull’s-eye rash is usually considered one of the first signs of infection, but many people develop a different kind of rash or none at all. In most cases, Lyme symptoms can start with a flu-like illness. If left untreated, the symptoms continue to worsen and can turn into a long-lived debilitating illness.
