CT Lyme Riders, Inc. came about to raise awareness of Lyme disease. Connecticut has one of the highest number of reported cases in Lyme disease and it is an endemic in our state. After seeing first
hand how debilitating Lyme disease can be and how many people are affected, we had to do something.  Founded in 2007 by Sandy Brule and Tony Gargano, CT Lyme Riders, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non profit public charity, recognized by the IRS under tax ID number 26-0428481.

After being been sick for several years and hearing the doctors say everything from there is nothing wrong, to it's all in your head, maybe you have Multiple Sclerosis, and many other mis-diagnosis, it was finally found to be Lyme disease. Once we realized what it was, we started doing research on this horrible disease and realized that we are not alone. The tests used for the Lyme are only about 60% accurate, so Lyme disease becomes a clinical diagnosis. We have run into many people who have the disease and they went through many years of the same tests, wrong diagnosis, and suffering that we have been through. We realized that more awareness and education was needed about this disease, and came up with the idea of a motorcycle poker run.
