Kels aka "The Fighter", Neighbor

I'd like to meet new people and learn more about fundraisers. I love people and I truly enjoy being a social butterfly and I'm always up for anything. My passion is being a "Lover of Life", everything from watching a great movie at home to traveling to the opposite end of our country to watch the most beautiful sunset mother nature has provided us AND everything in between. If there's a new bird, I want to be the first to see it! If there's a new fish in the sea, I want to be the first to dive in the oceans to see it! If there's a new cave, I want to be the first to discover it! If there's a new car out there, I want to be the first to drive it!

Working to "LIVE" life is what I imagine my entire life to be: life, laughter and fun, but I'm not doing so well with my health and I WISH I could still do the things I used to do; skiing, diving, surfing, traveling to foreign countries, camping, hiking, building cars from the ground up, boating and many, many more. I can no longer rely on my athletic side, so I have to rely on my artistic side because my health won't allow me to do these great and exciting things I used to do.

A woman with 3 potentially life threatening lung diseases is alive to tell her story. This woman is ME. I would love to tell you my story of battling with these 3 lung killers. What is it like living with 3 lung killers on a daily basis? What was it like growing up with severe chronic asthma as a child - hospitalized at least 2 times a year if not more? Overcoming obstacles of taking steroids (prednisone) as a toddler, to a child in grammar school, to a teenager in intermediate and all through high school? My story is a remarkable one when I think about it and an unbelievable one to date.

My LOVE for LIFE far exceed my debilitating, incurable, horrendous lung diseases of Severe Chronic Asthma, C.O.P.D, and Pulmonary Fibrosis on oxygen 24/7. A Chance at A New Life with Normal Lungs and without any Lung Diseases: A Lung Transplant, would be an absolute History in the Making and A MIRACLE for Me!

I would be on the moon if I had an opportunity to wake up in the morning to take a deep breath with ease without struggling. I don't know what I'd do. I don't know what it feels like to not have to struggle for breath everyday, so to wake up and breathe normally like a normal person would, I would be overwhelmed with emotions!

This is where I need to learn how to fundraise. My Papa and my hero was a great man who lived with a lung disease while rising to fame was an extraordinary man. I'm trying to raise funds and awareness for the both of us. I want to keep his legacy alive but I need to be alive to do so.

This is why I'm here to spread the word of old time baseball talk,to raise awareness for 3 lung dieases: Asthma, COPD and Pulmonary Fibrosis and to raise money to save my life.
