ABOUT THE RESCUE

LymeRescue.org is a Michigan based 501(c)(3) formed to fund innovative research for the treatment of Chronic Lyme disease or (Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome). Lyme Disease is not only physically and mentally debilitating but financially debilitating as well. For this reason, we also solicit monies to provide partial or full funding of treatments for patients unable to otherwise afford them.

Any family or individual that has been impacted by this disease and it’s unpredictable effects longs for real advocacy, support, and innovation. There are several excellent organizations that provide patient support and information about state of the art treatments for Chronic Lyme Disease. There is also growing awareness of and research for Lyme Disease. Unfortunately, many current treatments fall short of long-term benefit in the general Lyme population. Borrelia is a bacteria with characteristics unlike many other bacteria which makes it extremely difficult to eradicate. Moreover, it is challenging to even return afflicted patients to long-term functionality.
