ABOUT US
Receiving a diagnosis of Lyme disease and other tick-borne infections can be an overwhelming and challenging experience, placing a significant toll on the emotional well-being of patients and their caregivers. We understand. We've been there. That's why LymeBrave Foundation has been founded by patients and caregivers, for patients and caregivers.
We provide Lyme disease education and awareness programs with a focus on the patient experience so that individuals can understand the severity of Lyme and other tick-borne illnesses and take appropriate precaution for their own lives. Additionally, we aim to be a central support center with resources and programs that provide encouragement, hope, and useful skills to help patients and their caregivers on the journey to wellness.
Awareness events, educational workshops, and support programs will be coming to LymeBrave Foundation soon. For now, take a look around the site to find:
-
Information about Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses
-
Outside resources to help you on your healing journey
-
Patient and caregiver portals offering toolkits, original content, and resources for the Lyme journey
-
Awareness campaigns, events, and ways you can help LymeBrave Foundation help the Lyme community
-
The Being LymeBrave blog featuring essays and guest posts from Lyme survivors that bring to light the reality of living with this disease
-
And more!
We at LymeBrave Foundation believe that sharing our stories can help save lives, spread awareness, and grow compassion around a chronic illness that often sees too little. We also believe in the power of community. That's why our education and awareness programs are centered around the patient and caregiver experience while our support programs are created with you in mind. We hope our patient and caregiver portals will open doors to a bevy of helpful resources meant to make your Lyme life easier. Coming soon, our support programs aim to alleviate the loneliness and isolation that often accompany this disease.
Wherever you are in your Lyme journey, LymeBrave is here for you.
Stay strong. Be brave.
Here at LymeBrave Foundation, we're a group of patients and caregivers helping patients and caregivers.
