Fox5NY has done a stellar job of covering Lyme disease in recent years. This has included three half-hour programs in its “Lyme and Reason” series.

The most recent one, Lyme and Reason: Battles and Breakthroughs Against Lyme Disease, has been nominated as a finalist in the 2020 Sharecare Awards.

The Sharecare Awards, in association with The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, New York Chapter, seek to reward excellence in health-related programming.

The public can vote—once per category, per day, per device—through January 31.

The Lyme and Reason series has already done a lot to raise awareness of Lyme disease. Winning this award would spread its message even further.

So, readers, I hope you’ll go forth and click–early and often.
