Campaign Story

In may of 2020 I was diagnosed with Lyme disease. To this day I am  still battling. Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne disease in the United States. Lyme disease is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi and rarely, Borrelia mayonii. It is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected blacklegged ticks. Typical symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue, and a characteristic skin rash called erythema migrans. If left untreated, infection can spread to joints, the heart, and the nervous system. It’s estimated that over 476,000 people contract this each year. I am one. I have been battling Lyme for over a year now.  I want to help spread awareness and help contribute to better treatments.
