Lyme disease foundation
Founded in 1988, forging on into 2020!
We’re a small Non Profit (501c3) organization run by a mother and daughter team, hoping to help educate the world on Lyme Disease and other Tick Borne Illnesses. From activities in Washington, to a presentation at a Lyme Conference in Madrid, the LDF is quickly back leading the way in the Scientific and Patient Communities. We have accepted invitations to present in Boston in the fall of 2019 and Budapest, Hungary in 2020, and are thrilled to see what more we can do.
While in Madrid this past summer, the LDF has arranged to collaborate on several projects with doctors in Ireland and Spain. Europe is just as much in need of the full scope of education as any other area, and we hope to continue collaborating with foreign countries, and individuals from outside the US, to ensure that the population is able to protect themselves, and gain the care they need.
