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

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. As you may know I'm suffering from an extremely rare lung disease called Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) which affects only 90 women in the UK. It is a progressive disease leading to lung failure. As it is so rare the medical field has little interest in funding any research into LAM so I have set up this page to help the charity LAM Action achieve their aim of finding a cure for this horrible disease.

UPDATE: Melissa passed away on 28th December 2008. LAM was her killer. This page will hopefully continue to raise money for the LAM Action charity.
