Welcome to the Midwest-based LAM Foundation fundraising website. Our goal is to raise awareness and fund research for LAM.
Lymphangioleiomyomatosis, better known as LAM, is a progressive lung disease that typically strikes women in the prime of their lives - most often during their childbearing years.
Over the last 13 years, The LAM Foundation has worked to bring hope to members of the LAM community, raising awareness among physicians and women, and acting as a resource for physicians and women with LAM.
The LAM Foundation is actively engaged in identifying potential targets and treatments for LAM.
