Laughs for LAM - Fundraiser event to benefit The LAM Foundation - Friday, April 8th 9:00pm at My Club Comedy in Naugatuck, CT

Madeline Nolan was diagnosed with this rare, progressive, and often fatal lung disease that only effects women about 15 years ago.

When my good friend Madeline was diagnosed with this rare lung disease many years ago she was determined to raise awareness and immediately became involved with The LAM Foundation. Today, she is the LAM Liaison for the New England region. In this role she is available to help new and existing patients deal with this rare lung disease by assisting them with any questions they have and contacts they need. She also coordinates informative meetings with medical staff for patients and their families.

Madeline began holding fundraiser events in her backyard in order to raise money for research, patient support, and education. For the past 5 or 6 years we held an annual Beer and Wine tasting event at the Naugatuck Elks Lodge. This year we decided to change it up and have some laughs. We have all heard that "laughter is good medicine," and it is with this theme in mind that we decided to have a Comedy fundraiser this year at Dave Reilly's new comedy club. Dave Reilly will be headlining the show! Tickets are $20.00 per person and can be purchase by contacting Eugenia at 203-231-9425 or Madeline at 203-723-2016.

We sincerely appreciate the support of our family, friends, and community. Thank you and see you on April 8th for Laughs for LAM!
