Chairman’s Message

Dear Friends and Supporters,

The new year has arrived and we start our 18^th year of helping lung transplant patients and their caregivers.  The year holds many positives for us, and we have already jumped into preparing for out 17^th annual Norm Lydiard “Breath of Hope”, charity golf tournament.  We look forward to our fall get together in November, where we will once again bring together: lung transplant patients, their caregivers, their transplant teams and sponsors and donors who have made our assistance possible.

The wonderful individual that has allowed us to make the LTQ (Lung Transplant Quarters) available for long-term stays must take another direction and we are diligently trying to figure out how to keep it or find an alternative.  If you have ideas / suggestions / resources, please contact us and provide us with your insight.  You will see more about this as our June deadline approaches.

If you are interested in what we are doing, and would like to help, we are always looking for volunteers, donors and sponsors, just contact us and we will get back with you promptly.

If you don’t have the time to volunteer, you can still help by patronizing the businesses that have been so generous in helping us reach our goals (they are listed in the events category portion of the website).

Breathe deep and breathe well,

Glenn Hutchinson, Chairman

Lung Transplant Support Organization
