Monte Skall is the Executive Director of the National Capital Lyme and Tick-Borne Disease Association (NatCapLyme), a non-profit organization dedicated to Lyme and tick-borne disease education, prevention, research and patient support. Bitten by a tick in 1991, it took seven years and over a dozen doctors, including a trip to the Mayo Clinic, before Monte was diagnosed and treated. For the last 30 years, she has fought for the rights of Lyme patients; a journey that has made her a nationally recognized leader in the Lyme patient advocacy community. In 2001, she helped form NatCapLyme and under her guidance and leadership, the organization has grown to include chapters throughout Virginia, and in Maryland, North Carolina and the District of Columbia.
