Triangle Lift-A-Thon to Raise Money for LAMs Disease
Triangle Fraternity's RIT Chapter has been raising money to help one of our friend's mother, Shelley Hannah, who has been diagnosed with LAMs disease. When she was was diagnosed with lymphangioleiomyomatosis , or LAM’s disease. In summary, LAM’s disease is a rare lung disease which almost exclusively affects women during their child bearing years. There is currently no cure for the disease, but, patients are given the choice if getting a lung transplant to help prolong their life. Shelly opted for the lung transplant and was put on the list on September 29th, 2008. She was fortunate enough to receive the transplant this past fall. The problem is that not everything that she needs for the transplant is covered by insurance.
