DiseaseMaps.org connects people with chronic and rare diseases and other syndromes and conditions using maps. The DiseaseMaps.org team aims to spread awareness about these conditions and show people who suffer these diseases/conditions that they are not alone. There are thousands of people living a similar situation willing to help others to find a way to get better.
Pablo Belmonte, DiseaseMaps.org, Founder, is fighting against Lyme Disease since 2006. He is doing his best every day to make this world a better place. He is an Industrial Engineer living between a bed and a couch dedicating his life to the success of diseasemaps.org. Pablo knew that there was a need for DiseaseMaps.org when he was diagnosed with Lyme Disease and he felt that he was alone. He created a map to connect with others who also suffered from Lyme Disease and then realized that he wanted to help create a DiseaseMap for all diseases so others don’t feel the way he did when he received his diagnosis.
