AS MOST INSURANCE COMPANIES DO NOT COVER THE TREATMENT OF CHRONIC LYME DISEASE, FAMILIES ARE TYPICALLY LEFT ON THEIR OWN TO BATTLE THE DISEASE, OFTEN INCURRING ENORMOUS MEDICAL DEBT. BY PROVIDING CRITICAL TREATMENT, LYMELIGHT BRIDGES THE GAP OF ENORMOUS UNMET NEED. SINCE ITS' INCEPTION IN 2011, LYMELIGHT HAS AWARDED GRANTS TOTALING $5.9M TO 891 INDIVIDUALS IN 49 STATES.
