Lyme Disease is a serious medical condition that is often overlooked, misdiagnosed, or misunderstood. When untreated, Lyme Disease develops into a lifelong, debilitating condition.

Education about Lyme Disease and advocacy for Lyme Disease patients is one of Tony Pennisi’s greatest personal causes. Or, as the Big Paw owner says, “I got it, so if you’re not careful, you’ll get it, too.”

Below you will find a list of helpful Lyme Disease resources. To help find a cure for this disease, please send your donations to the Lyme Disease Association.

California Lyme Disease Association (CALDA), formerly known as Lyme Disease Resource Center. CALDA is a non-profit corporation that acts as the central voice for all tick-borne disease issues in California and a supporting voice for national issues. Through advocacy and education of the public and health care professionals, CALDA seeks to prevent tick-borne diseases, encourage early diagnosis, and improve the quality of health care provided to people with tick-borne diseases.
