Central North Carolina Chapter

Answering the growing needs for support and awareness, we are pleased to announce the opening of The Central North Carolina Chapter of the National Capital Lyme and Tick-Borne Disease Association.

Informal monthly meetings are held the 2nd Saturday of each month from 1 to 4 PM. The location is: Queens Grant High School, 10323 Idlewild Road, Matthews, NC 28105. This location is easily accessed from I-485.

John Lee McLean and his wife Barbara lead the group. John Lee was miss-diagnosed with Early On-Set Alzheimer’s, when in fact he had been suffering for 9 years with Lyme disease. Barbara has been a caregiver for her grandmother and mother in-law whom both suffered with Alzheimer. She was also John’s advocate during his battle and treatment of Lyme. The McLean family vowed to raise awareness in their state if John Lee ever returned to a place of sufficiency.

The entire Central North Carolina Chapter is devoted to support, education and awareness. Educational outreach to surrounding communities is an important goal for this chapter. Anyone who has been touched by Lyme disease or just wants to learn more is welcome to attend anytime.
