From the organizer
Lyme disease is a debilitating illness that affects millions of people worldwide. This disease can cause a wide range of symptoms, including fatigue, joint pain, and neurological problems. Unfortunately, Lyme disease is often misdiagnosed, leading to delayed treatment and a longer recovery time.
If you or someone you know has been affected by Lyme disease, we invite you to join us in our efforts to raise awareness and funds for this important cause. Our Lyme Disease Fundraiser is a 5K event that will bring together individuals and families from across the community to support those who this illness has impacted.
Whether you are a seasoned runner or just looking to get out and enjoy some fresh air and support from the sidelines, our Lyme Disease Fundraiser is the perfect opportunity to make a difference.
We’re racing for a cause near and dear to our hearts; Lyme disease awareness. We are a passionate community of Lyme disease warriors fighting for better treatment, testing, and understanding for those living with chronic Lyme disease.
