Ticked Off Lyme Foundation Inc.

Ticked Off Lyme Foundation Inc. is a community-focused organization dedicated to raising awareness of Lyme disease and supporting people affected by it, particularly in Iowa, where the foundation says resources are scarce. Created after its founders witnessed a friend’s long struggle with an undiagnosed illness, the foundation aims to offer connection, encouragement, and hope to people navigating similar challenges. Its message emphasizes that those facing Lyme disease are not alone.

The foundation shares information about Lyme disease, prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment, alongside frequently asked questions and links to support groups. Its website also features personal stories, insights, expert advice, and research to help visitors learn more about the illness. Through outreach, partnerships, advocacy, and community gatherings, the organization works to increase awareness and foster supportive connections. Events include a 5K and Polar Splash, and the foundation provides a grant application for those seeking support. Visitors can explore local events, contact the organization, or donate to help advance its work.
