Our Mission
The Lyme Support Network is a non-profit service organization dedicated to making a difference by building awareness of Lyme Disease within our community. Our primary goal is to serve as a support group for people with Lyme Disease and / or other tick-borne diseases. Our work also includes education and advocacy to promote knowledge and understanding of Lyme Disease among the general public, government agencies and within the medical community.
Bill S. 1503 Illinois - Lyme and Tickborne Disease Act Approval
If you or a loved one suffers from Lyme or another Tick-borne Disease, We need your VOICE!
Senators Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) have introduced the bipartisan Lyme and Tick-Borne Disease Prevention, Education and Research Act of 2015 (S. 1503), which addresses many issues important to the Lyme community. It may either be a stand-alone bill, or it might be included in a larger Senate bill, similar to the 21st Century Cures Act. Please contact your US Senators and ask them to support and co-sponsor this measure. There is a special BlogSpot with up to date information about the Bill - Click here to see
