Welcome to the new LDF site
design by Christy Forschner
New look, same passion!
As we move into a new year, we thought that giving the website, and in turn ourselves, a new look would help propel us forwards. Working on each page may take some refinement so that access to all our resources remains easily accessible. This may take us a bit of time, but we’re always happy to try and streamline things further! We’re excited as ever to work with lawmakers, researchers, scientists, doctors, patients, educators, businesses, and anyone with an interest in our mission!
Given that it’s a ‘digital age’, we’re excited to announce that we’re in the process of getting an Online Education Program in motion! Resources are set to be ready to launch in this coming year. The hope is to have it fully accessible, so it would be an immense gift to help us in this process with a donation toward this project! The need for accessible education for all ages, all types and sorts is as prevalent as ever, and we’re hoping to fill an obvious need with the richest information we can provide. Connecting with leaders, first person experiences, statistics, history, and the full scope of personal prevention resources anyone could need, from someone who’s never heard of “Lyme Disease” before, to someone on the bleeding edge of research!
In the last few months, we’ve been discussing if we should create a digital library of our prior conferences, and scientific discussions, so the public can have access to those records as well! We will need to have our hardcopy recordings processed and refined so we can host them online, and audio editing to ensure good quality. Unfortunately, we don’t have the funds currently to be able to do this on our own, so for those interested, please consider donating to this project!
As 2019 closes, we’ve accomplished a lot for a two woman team. Presenting research findings in Madrid, Spain, Boston, Mass, and working with the Department of Defense on grant approvals as a consumer reviewer in Tick Borne Disease grants. Our long history of being ‘rabble rousers’ isn’t gone either! We held a rally at the beginning of the year in the US Capitol, Washington DC, to help raise awareness about a sorely lacking bill that was trying to fund the same complacent researchers and scientists, and helped influence it’s change.
2020 is on the horizon, and we think it will be our most groundbreaking year yet! Join us in moving Lyme Disease forward! Be a Lyme Warrior, but most importantly!
Find the truth, tell the truth!
