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 are part of LymeBrave's mission.
In the meantime, take a look around the site to find:
-

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 campaigns 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.
Wherever you are in your Lyme journey, LymeBrave is here for you.
Stay strong. Be brave.
