We want to welcome you to our 5th Annual Midcoast Lyme Disease Support & Education conference. When we first created MLDSE, we thought it would be a place for people to gather, to listen to others, share their own personal journeys and validate their struggles. It quickly became apparent that support has many layers beyond just listening.

For us, this has been a journey of not only listening but sharing, educating and connecting, nurturing and networking, encouraging, laughing, crying and celebrating. From the trenches, we take our own personal experiences, the good and the bad, and use them to empower others.

Five year later, MLDSE is busier than ever 24/7/365 and we are growing in ways that we never imagined. We are thrilled with all the partnerships and relationships that we’ve worked hard to build and for the supports and resources that we can freely offer to Maine’s Lyme community.

This year’s conference is a culmination of five years of hard work and steadfast determination to bring all our resources under one roof, on one day, with free admission to all who attend.

Bring your questions, find some answers, connect with resources and leave with hope.

Paula & Angele
Co-Founders, MLDSE
