About The Lyme Disease Foundation

The Lyme Disease Foundation was founded initially due to a lack of information availability, awareness, and general understanding of what Lyme disease was, or what ticks really spread. The medical community and government agencies were asleep to the reality of what was happening to people. It was clear that someone had to do something and that someone was Karen Vanderhoof-Forschner, BS, MBA, DHL, CPCU, CLU and husband Tom Forschner, CPA, MBA, BA. Karen and Tom are the global change agents that revolutionized the world’s knowledge about Lyme disease.
