Clare's on the 4th plinth

Clare Lauwerys is raising money for LAM Action
“Clare Lauwerys's fundraising”

on 8 September 2009

Donations cannot currently be made to this page
Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare lung disease that only occurs in women. It affects just over one woman in a million. We are a self-help group providing support for patients with LAM and raise money for vital research - it is often difficult to obtain money for research into a rare disease.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On 11 October I will on the 4th plinth in Trafalgar Square. Yes, I won a place in "One & Other" the live artwork by sculptor Antony Gormley. 


The day is extra special as I will also be celebrating my birthday. A year ago I was waiting for a lung transplant and back then I wasn't able to stand up for 10 minutes so the difference this year is amazing.

I will spend the last hour of my birthday on the plinth - I spent the last hour of my birthday last year in Harefield hospital.


I will use my time on the plinth to raise awareness of the need for more donor. I was lucky but sadly many people die on the transplant waiting list.

Please join the Organ Donor Register.

1) Go to www.organdonation.nhs.uk,

I will also use my time to raise the profile of LAM Action, the charity that has supported me and others with the my extremely rare lung disease and I am asking for donations to be made to LAM Action.
