Lyme Disease Challenge
May 2016 Trip to Capitol Hill, IDSA Headquarters, and Lyme Policy and Science Forum
Each May, The Mayday Project hosts a rally outside of the Infectious Disease Society of America’s Headquarters in Arlington, VA, to raise public awareness for Lyme Disease and for the damage being done by the outdated and dangerously flawed IDSA Lyme Disease Treatment Guidelines, and to fight for change.
