| (taken from Ipswich Chronicle 7/7/2005) Brian Armstrong is a typical 16 year old. Known as B-DawgLodz Hotels at Ipswich High School, he likes to hang out with his friends, go to movies and play poker. Recently he passed his driver's test. But one thing set him apart. Brian has cystic fibrosis. In May 2005, his name was added to the waiting list at Mass General for a hotel rooms Helsingordouble lung transplant. If Brian's condition should suddenly worsen before he's moved to the top of that list, there is another alternative called a Living Donor Transplant. We need to find two live donors that will each donate a lobe of their lungs. Humans are born with 3 lobes on their left side and two on the right. Organ donors are the TOP priority. Contact MGH Transplant 617-726-6162, to be tested as an organ donor for Brian. The monies needed to support the donor for as long as their recovery takes is $100,000. Hopefully this will only be a few weeks. We need your help. You can find out about donating funds here: www.breathforbdawg.com |
