Welcome to Generation Lyme

Generation Lyme is a patient-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to connecting and empowering people impacted by Lyme and other tick-borne diseases. We offer free virtual support groups—called Meet-Ups—along with online platforms, patient stories, and resources to help people find information and support.

At Gen Lyme, patients, supporters, and those awaiting diagnosis can share experiences, ask questions, and build connections with people who understand.

No one has to face Lyme disease alone.

Living with Lyme disease can be extremely isolating. Generation Lyme exists to change that.

No one should have to face a life-changing illness without people who can support them through it.

“The support I received from this group helped save my life. Having someone tell you that you’re not alone and that your feelings and symptoms are valid is everything.

Come to a Meet-Up.”
