Welcome to the New Zealand LAM Charitable Trust

Established in Auckland in 1999, the New Zealand LAM Trust is one of a number of patient and family organisations around the world working alongside scientists, clinicians and researchers, raising awareness about the disease Lymphangioleiomyomatosis and helping raise funds to support research into its cause and ultimately its cure.

» OUR CHALLENGE

To help to transform the vision of a future without LAM into a reality
To intensify our efforts to raise funds for scientific research
To educate general practitioners to recognise early symptoms of LAM
To identify and provide support for every LAM patient in New Zealand.

» OUR OBJECTIVES

To provide support for persons diagnosed with LAM and their families
To become the source of information for persons affected with LAM
To publish educational materials on LAM for all interested individuals
To raise awareness of LAM, to improve early detection and diagnosis
To maintain a database of persons throughout the country who have LAM
To foster and fund research aimed at finding a cause of and cure for LAM and ultimately, preventative measures
