Objective of the "Voices Against Lyme Disease CT":
To become the voice of a statewide advocacy program that will provide state officials, civic organizations and Connecticut families with educational information. We will communicate the need for a better awareness and understanding of all Lyme Disease symptoms, the absolute necessity for funding in research as to quality/quantitative testing and cure, historical and more accurate collection of current statewide statistics and a clear picture of short term and possible long term effects and personal costs associated with being affected by Lyme disease and other illnesses transmitted by the same ticks.
