LAMposium Means Hope

After several months of suffering from shortness of breath, I asked a friend of mine, who is a doctor, what he thought I should do. He told me to get a chest X-ray; that is when I started to worry because my X-rays revealed that something was wrong with my lungs. He referred me to a specialist and told me to get a CT scan before going to the specialist’s office. On August 3, I was diagnosed with this rare disease I could not even pronounce: lymphangioleiomyomatosis – LAM. My pulmonologist explained what he knew about the disease and of course I was devastated.

This year’s Breath of Hope Gala was a complete sell out with over 410 people in attendance! And with a crowd like that, everything was “off the charts”!

Our Breath of Hope Silent Auction tables had 50 fabulous donated items up for bid, generating well over $9,000. That’s $4,000 + more than last year!
