In
April 2005 Justine was diagnosed with Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM).
Lam is one of the rarest diseases known to man, of unknown origin and
affecting little over one in a million people. It is currently without
a known cure.
This website has three
main objectives:
(1) To tell
Justine’s inspirational story as she fought LAM and to offer
encouragement and hope for those suffering and affected by LAM;
(2) To promote organ
donation; and
(3) To be a resource
for updating family and friends of Justine and the wider community.
Justine’s
story is told through differing perspectives including: extracts from
her personal diary; worldwide media coverage on television, newspapers
and radio; news bulletins documenting her medical journey; a public
guestbook with messages worldwide; and other photos and media.
On this website you
can learn about Justine's driving force, passion and ambitions.
You will also find on this website useful links to
the charitable and other organisations where further information
regarding LAM can be found, such as, for example, the UK Lam Charity LAM Action.
