Project Lyme.
Building a future where Lyme disease is accurately diagnosed, effectively treated, and ultimately prevented.
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.
