Each day in May, for Lyme Awareness Month, whatislyme featured a different person who has made a difference in the Lyme community. The list below is just the tip of the iceberg, there are so many people who are out there doing wonderful things in the Lyme community. We will continue to do an article every other week for those who are making a difference.
If you would like to nominate someone post them in the comment below and we will contact you. If it is someone we don’t know, we need you to be able to get us the contact for the person so we can get permission to use pictures and do a write up. We are also inviting anyone who would ike to do a guest blog post to do one on someone they think is making a difference in the Lyme community! Thank you!
