Please Join us in our efforts to support the

Alpha-1 Foundation!

This cause is very important to us. Your donation will help support the great programs and research conducted by the Alpha-1 Foundation to find a cure for Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency, a rare, genetic disease. Alpha-1 causes, most frequently, severe lung disease such as: COPD, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis, or. lung transplant. It can also cause severe liver disease leading to cirrhosis and liver transplant.  An Alpha-1 Patient can be affected by one, either, or in both ways. In either case, it can happen even to those with no history of smoking or drinking. Alpha-1 is genetic. The gene passes through families. There is currently no cure for Alpha-1 and limited treatments are available. 

We are walking to raise awareness of our condition and to raise funds to contribute toward dedicated Alpha-1 research and finding a cure to this debilitating disease.

Your contribution is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
