We have adopted a three-fold purpose.
SUPPORT - Build a network to share our personal trials and experiences. Network with other Lyme organizations by participation in conferences, rallies, etc.
AWARENESS - Schedule presentations by doctors and other health professionals; alternative treatment experts; disability rights and benefits professionals. Heighten public awareness in the National Capital Area through distribution of printed material to doctors' offices, hospitals, and schools.
CURE - Contact local, state, federal and international medical and political representatives; Raise funds to support Lyme research; Host conferences/symposiums; Gain media support (TV, radio, newspapers).
