The Association québécoise de la maladie de Lyme

The Association québécoise de la maladie de Lyme (AQML) is a charitable organization established in November 2013. We’re a young, fast-growing association working to raise awareness of the seriousness of the disease in Quebec, and to support those who suffer from it.

AQML’s mission is to raise awareness of Lyme disease and its co-infections, and to advocate for adequate prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment and support services for all stages and aspects of these diseases, from public and private medical and governmental authorities.

Please donate to help us continue to help patients affected by the various forms of Lyme disease, and to fight for recognition of their illness. By making a donation, you may be helping someone in your family, as Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne disease in North America and is expanding exponentially in Quebec.

The AQML is now officially recognized as a charitable organization in the eyes of the law, and as such we issue official tax receipts for all donations of $20 or more.
