A FUNDRAISER for a mother with a dangerous lung disease has raised more than $2000.
Jennifer Mihailidis is a mother of four children. She has been diagnosed with LAM Disease, an incurable illness which affects the lungs.
LAM Disease causes cells to grow in a person’s lungs, lymph nodes, and kidneys. This affects breathing and lung capacity.
Some of the symptoms experienced by Mihailidis include shortness of breath, lethargy and chronic fatigue, weight gain, painful coughing, a burning feeling in her chest, lung pain, raspy voice, and fluid retention in her legs.
Mihailidis has been put on a health plan to try and tackle the effects of her illness. Her family and friends are hoping to raise $25,000 to pay for surgery which could help her.
An online auction will be held on 30 November to raise money for Mihailidis’ treatment. Her friends and family will be at Wildness Cafe at 135 Beach Street in Frankston on the day to raise awareness.
