Our podcast
In It Together
A podcast sharing stories of perseverance through life’s challenges, a reminder of the hope that our darkest times can light the way to our strengths and purpose. Guests will range from experts to everyday people who will serve as examples of what’s possible. Most importantly, in sharing these stories we will gather to listen and be lifted up and out of our personal situations, knowing we are all in this together.
“What Is Lyme?”
Lyme disease is an infection caused by a spiral-shaped bacterium called a spirochete. Transmitted by both Black-Legged and Lone-Star ticks, it may present with flu-like symptoms and a characteristic “bullseye” rash. Unfortunately, these recognizable symptoms are not always present, and patients may suffer impairment to their joints, heart, and nervous system without a diagnosis for years. These symptoms along with encephalopathy, joint pain, and fatigue, may become chronic despite early antibiotic treatment. Ticks carrying the Lyme disease spirochete Borelia Burgdorferi may also transmit Babesiosis, Bartonella, Erlichiosis, Anaplasmosis, and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, adding complexity to patients’ symptoms, treatment, and diagnosis.
Our Team
We are on a mission to spread hope and strength, rallying behind the many Lyme organizations offering substantial support to the hundreds of thousands of children and adults living with tick-borne illness.

Diversity & Inclusion Initiative & Educational Webinars
Ride Out Lyme is collaborating with other Lyme organizations to create a dialogue around racism and discrimination (particularly in the medical community) with an emphasis on Tick-Borne Illness. Our goal is to identify the challenges that minority groups face and how we can come together to be a force of change to better serve minority groups and explore how we might actively identify, choose, and act with practices that promote diversity and inclusion.
