I want to know which places are the best for advancing research about Lyme disease. [spinning smile]

I'd like to donate a little extra money and help the cause. Suggestions? [confused]

Yes, quite a few would be happy to take your donation. If it is megabucks, then the Tickborne Disease Alliance would be good. If lesser amounts, then lymedisease.org would be appropriate as they do good work like sponsor docs to attend ILADS conferences, thus often creating new places to get treated. They have also contributed to research projects.

Well, bless your heart! So nice to see that you want to donate. Thank you so very much!

Not to take away from the others at all, but the group with the most experience and longest history with supporting good scientific research is the national Lyme Disease Association. www.LymeDiseaseAssociation.org

They are the "mother" group for about 40 other Lyme groups around the country and many more individuals. What I especially like is they have ALL volunteers- no paid staff- so a huge percentage of the money donated (last I head it was 96%) goes directly to Lyme work, not overhead or staff, etc.

Here is a partial list of grants the LDA has already distributed for research work.

And they have my favorite program of all- Lyme Aid 4 Kids- so no child will have to go undiagnosed or treated. The total funds they distributed to help the sick children is over a quarter of a million dollars so far!

I also just heard Dr. J is needing funds too, to keep his office going for the kids. I will be posting about it ASAP on this site...

www.DrJonesKids.com

More info at the above site already about his plight, but an update is on the way.

Thanks again for considering donating. MUCH appreciated!!!
