Milena (Millie) Grgas

Recently diagnosed with Lyme Disease—after 5 years of incorrect medical treatment and three separate misdiagnoses—I wish to serve my community and the country on a broader scale by creating more massive awareness around the warning signs and prevention of this vector-borne illness. Through my platform, "When Life Gives You Lymes..." I am working with the Bay Area Lyme Foundation, Project Lyme, & Generation Lyme to share my story and help other Lyme Warriors with their own struggles. I also hope that sharing my story as a current patient who still has been able to achieve on a personal and professional level will encourage others to confront adversity head-on, no matter the circumstance.
