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

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.
