Our Mission

No one should fight Lyme disease alone.

Project Lyme was founded by people who know firsthand how isolating and misunderstood Lyme disease can be. We exist to change that — through education, advocacy, and funding the research that will one day lead to a cure.

Every dollar you give goes directly toward making Lyme disease easier to diagnose and simpler to treat. We support patients, empower caregivers, and hold the line for scientific integrity.

How We Work

Four pillars of lasting change.

We take a comprehensive approach to ending the Lyme disease crisis — from lab to policy to community.

Research

Funding the science that changes outcomes.

We support peer-reviewed research that improves diagnostics, treatment, and prevention of Lyme disease at leading institutions.

Education

Replacing misinformation with clarity.

Accurate, evidence-based information is the foundation of better care for patients, families, and clinicians who treat them.

Community

Amplifying voices that have been ignored.

We build community, share stories with dignity and consent, and advocate for policies that reflect the lived reality of Lyme disease.

Advocacy

Progress happens together.

From Capitol Hill to local communities, we advocate for better care, faster diagnosis, and a future without Lyme disease.

Rooted in research.
Growing hope.
