Raising money for

LAM Action

Charity Registration No. 1096637

Lymphangioleiomyomatosis or LAM is a rare lung disease that only occurs in women. It affects just over one woman in a million and LAM Action is aware of 120 women in the United Kingdom who have LAM. The purpose of LAM Action is twofold. Firstly, it is a self-help group to provide support and encouragement for patients with LAM. The second purpose of LAM Action is to raise money for research as it is often difficult to obtain money for research into a rare disease.

My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

I am desperately trying to raise as much money as I can for LAM Action, a charity that has raised awareness of a disease that has significantly affected how my Mum has been able to lead her life in recent years. The real name of the disease is Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (no idea how to pronounce it, but appropriately for a butcher it is abbreviated to LAM!!) which is basically non-cancerous tumours that grow on the lung and slowly restrict the capacity of the lung. It normally developes at an early age, as it is hormone fed, but unfortunately my Mum has developed this disease at a later time of her life.

My plan is to take part in The Pedal For Scotland race, which is a cycle from Glasgow to Edinburgh to raise money for this charity. It is a bum numbing 50 miles. Please, please give generously.
