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 recognize 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
• To sponsor conferences, workshops and scientific meetings related to LAM
• To raise money to support the goals.

With support for New Zealand women suffering from LAM and fundraising for research as the central focus, the New Zealand LAM Trust is committed to the above challenges.
