A Letter from the
Executive Director With the support of so many of you, in 2006 I founded the LAM Treatment Alliance (LTA). My goal, and the
organization’s mission, is to take a fast-track approach that cuts through the medical bureaucracy to find an effective treatment, and a cure
for LAM. This is a race against time. You have understood that point and your solidarity has been my inspiration more often than you may realize. The
LTA is well on its way, working strategically towards an achievable mission..

LTA Indiana Chapter
The Indiana Chapter of the LAM Treatment Alliance has been fundamental in developing a grassroots awareness of LAM and in raising funds to bring
women with the disease one step closer to a cure. Through their tremendous dedication, creative sprit and strong ties to the Indianapolis community,
they have raised local awareness and contributed thousands of dollars towards a cure for LAM. As is the case with many of the LAM Treatment Alliance
chapters, it began with one woman’s unfortunate struggle with LAM.
