Raise Awareness in the Fight Against Lyme Disease with the Minnesota Lyme Association

Lyme Disease Awareness Weekend in Minneapolis

The weekend of May 5th offers several events in Minneapolis to raise money and awareness for the fight against Lyme disease. Spread by the bite of an infected deer tick, Lyme disease can easily be misdiagnosed with its flu-like symptoms and can lead to months or even years of devastating physical effects. Raising awareness helps more people know how to prevent Lyme as well as what to look for in symptoms. Raising money will get us that much closer to better Lyme prevention and treatments, maybe even a vaccine one day. View the events below and choose the best way you can participate:
