Justin Timberlake's recent disclosure that he has Lyme disease has generated unprecedented global awareness. Here's a message of empathy and hope from our Board Chair, Ali Moresco, along with a generous donation match for one week only:
“Working Toward a Future Where Lyme Isn't 'Relentlessly Debilitating'"
It always breaks my heart to see someone else join the growing community of individuals diagnosed with Lyme disease or a tick-borne illness. This week, Justin Timberlake bravely shared that he has been quietly battling Lyme, a revelation that is, sadly, more common than most people realize.
The reality of this disease is that it’s far more widespread and insidious than public awareness reflects. Those impacted come from all walks of life, and many suffer invisibly. You can look perfectly healthy on the outside while silently enduring an illness that affects every corner of your life.
Justin described Lyme as “relentlessly debilitating.” Those words could not be more accurate. They reflect what so many of us — including patients, caregivers, and advocates — already know too well: the unrelenting nature of this illness, the toll it takes physically and emotionally, and the gaps that still exist in timely diagnosis, treatment, and support.
At Project Lyme, we’re working to change that reality.
If you’ve been impacted by Lyme or tick-borne illness — or if someone you love has — I hope you’ll consider supporting our work. Together, we can fund the research, awareness, and advocacy needed to ensure that in the future, no one has to describe Lyme as “relentlessly debilitating.”
As a 10-year Lyme disease patient, I know firsthand how much this disease impacts every facet of your life. For the next week, I’ll personally match donations to Project Lyme, so you can double your impact. Please consider donating and sharing our donate page linked in bio with family and friends to help us create lasting change where Lyme disease is no longer “relentlessly debilitating.”
With gratitude,
Ali Moresco
