The LAM Foundation Easy Breathers

The LAM Foundation urgently seeks safe and effective treatments, and ultimately a cure, for lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) through advocacy and the funding of promising research.

We are dedicated to serving the scientific, medical, and patient communities by offering information, resources, and a worldwide network of hope and support. To learn more, visit www.thelamfoundation.org.

The LAM Foundation is proud to partner with the UPenn Center for Orphan Diseases for the 10th annual Million Dollar Bike Ride. The LAM Foundation's Easy Breathers Cycling Team has raised more than $814,000 for LAM research. Join us on June 10, 2023, as we pedal to put an end to lymphangioleiomyomatosis!

With your support, we can meet and even surpass our goal! UPenn will match dollar-for-dollar up to $30,000, doubling the impact!

100% of your donation is tax-deductible.
