Lyme disease is an illness caused by the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi, transmitted through the bite of an infected black-legged tick. The disease has been reported in all 50 states and more than 80 countries. All ages are affected, but children aged 3-14 are most at risk, with 200 new cases every day. Early diagnosis and treatment are the keys to combating the disease. The Global Lyme Alliance (GLA) is also helping combat the disease with their annual New York City Gala. This year’s ceremony was hosted by FOX 5 Good Day New York co-anchor, Lori Stokes, at Cipriani 42nd Street. The gala raised over $2 million. The money supports the GLA’s mission to advance scientific research leading to a reliable diagnostic test, improved treatment options, and ultimately, find a cure for Lyme and other tick-borne diseases. Ramona Singer and Erin Walker were honored at the gala while the audience was treated to a show-stopping performance by Tony Award-winning Broadway and television star Sutton Foster.
