Edward W. Wlodarski's Story -Our History
Every day for thirty-two years, Edward W. Wlodarski struggled to manage his cystic fibrosis and, as an adult, to remain independent and fulfill his financial obligations. In 1998, transplant was his only option and he willingly pursued candidacy and was accepted. Yet, as wonderful a miracle that transplant offered him, his financial stresses grew with the expected transplant costs. Assisted by his sister, Stephanie, they began an aggressive fundraising campaign. But sadly Edward lost his battle with CF later that year.
It was through his eyes and struggles that Stephanie knew something had to be done to ease the burdens faced by those with cystic fibrosis. Less than two years later, in 2000 Stephanie's resolution to help others like her brother was memorialized in the establishment of the Lungs for Life Foundation. Learn More |
