Message from the President
Dear Patients, Caregivers, Members, and Friends,
As fall approaches, the oppressive summer heat will soon give way to cooler temperatures, bringing the much-anticipated transformation unique to our desert landscape. This time of year invites us to pause, reflect on where we have been, and look ahead to what lies before us. For those of you who are at the beginning of your lung transplant journey, I wish you continued strength, health, and happiness.
We held our annual Norm Lydiard Memorial Golf Tournament in May, a tremendous success. It once again showcased the strength and unity of our lung transplant community, all coming together to support our shared mission. Thanks to your involvement, the LTSO can continue making a meaningful impact on the lives of patients and caregivers alike. Whether you participated in the tournament, contributed to the raffle or silent auction, or joined us for the luncheon, please know that your presence and support are deeply valued. You are all truly appreciated!
I am excited to announce our 14th Annual Fall Get Together, scheduled for November 2 from 11:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M.. This event, free of charge, promises an afternoon of food, fun, and fellowship, and we invite everyone to attend. Reservation information is provided on the LTSO Home page, and the Events page is entitled “Annual Autumn Get Together.” I’m looking forward to seeing m you there!
Thank you for your continued support and dedication. Your involvement is essential to our work at the LTSO, and together, we are making a difference. May this fall bring you moments of peace, joy, and reflection as we continue to uplift and support one another.
With warmest regards,
David Wick, Jr., President, Lung Transplant Support Organization
