<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>In December 2010 I had a kidney removed and with it a 9cm tumour.&nbsp; I had become ill and the tumour was discovered along with cysts in my lungs.&nbsp; I was diagnosed with the rare disease Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM).&nbsp; LAM Action has been brilliant at offering information and support as I have looked into what this disease means to me now and in the future.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
