We Need Your Help

Hello Friends and Family,

I have recently signed up for the 1st annual Stair Climb For Clean Air in support of the Alberta & NWT Lung Association! We are climbing the 280 stairs at the Coast Edmonton Plaza Hotel on March 10th, 2013.

The cause hits close to home for our good friend Craig. His mother, Vicky, is currently battling lung disease. Her lung disease was diagnosed under 1 year ago, and she was placed on 24/7 oxygen this fall as unfortunately, her lungs are deteriorating rapidly.

For Vicky, her lung disease is a complication of the Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) she is also dealing with. RA is an autoimmune disease which attacks the joints. Unfortunately 10% of RA patients develop RA Lung Disease. Essentially her body is rejecting her own lungs.

Vicky needs a double lung transplant to save her life and we are praying that new lungs become available to her.

Please help us in her fight and support the Lung Association. Funds raised will contribute to respiratory disease research and awareness in Alberta.

You can pledge/sponsor me for the Stair Climb here.
