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 CYHSYF’s JustGiving page in support of LAM Action. If you are reading this you are hopefully just about to make a donation to purchase a PDF copy of the fanzine so thank you for your valued support!

LAM (or to give it its full name lymphangioleiomyomatosis) is a rare disease which only affects women. The condition mainly affects the lungs which are progressively destroyed over a number of years. This leads to increasing breathlessness, lung collapse and can be fatal. Currently there is no cure for LAM and little in the way of treatment.

LAM Action is a registered UK charity that raises money to fund research into the causes of, and potential treatments for LAM. As it is such a rare disease little research is currently being done by drug companies, so if a cure is to be found, it will only come through the vital work of this charity. LAM Action also provides an invaluable support network to sufferers and their families.

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.

Support the Team. Support LAM Action.
