The LymePowerOfUs Campaign is designed to increase awareness of Lyme disease, raise funds to train physicians in the appropriate diagnosis and treatment of Lyme disease and to support LymeTap (an organization that helps people in financial need get Lyme testing). LymePowerOfUs was created by the educational arm of ILADS (ILADEF) in honor of Dr. Nick Harris, one of the founders of ILADS
