The Kiwanis Pediatric Lyme Disease Foundation supports and advocates for child victims of Lyme Disease, which is caused by bacteria usually transmitted by the deer tick and can lead to complications if not immediately treated. Most insurance companies do not pay for Lyme Disease treatment, so the foundation helps lower the cost of treatment for children with the disease. For more information click here.
