FREDERICK, MD, UNITED STATES, April 18, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Lyme Warrior, The Leaf Program, Inc. – Frederick, and Project Lyme Host 5K Fun Run on May 31 at Hood College

In recognition of the 50th anniversary of Lyme disease’s discovery, three national and local organizations—Lyme Warrior, The Leaf Program, Inc. – Frederick, and Project Lyme—are partnering to host a community-driven 5K Fun Run on Saturday, May 31, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM at Hood College in Frederick, Maryland.

This special event is designed to raise awareness, educate families, and generate funding for Lyme disease prevention, particularly among children and youth—populations increasingly at risk. All proceeds will support grassroots educational efforts, including school-based prevention programs, caregiver resources, and summer camp counselor training.

“This race is more than a run—it’s a step toward protecting the next generation,” said Christina Murphy, Vice President of The Leaf Program, Inc. – Frederick. “Together with Lyme Warrior and Project Lyme, we’re empowering communities with knowledge that could save lives.”
