As 2016 is coming to a close we would like to share this page that we have been updating all year with all the important happenings in the Lyme world. Some we celebrate and some we mourn (see bottom of page memorial section). But here is a record of what Lyme patients have gone through, including advances in research, legislation, celebrities, organizations and any other news we have learned. If you think of more things that should be added, please leave a message in the comments below. Thank you and may 2017 bring us our miracle.

This was a sad year in terms of loss in the Lyme community. We lost many friends this year. We listed everyone we knew or who’s names have been sent to us. Some causes may say cancer, or other illnesses but they all suffered from Lyme disease and were part of our community.
