Dear friends and family,

As some of you know, my brother, Charlie Noel, recently underwent a long-awaited double-lung transplant on January 4th. While we are beyond grateful to the donor family and the medical team at Brigham and Women's Hospital, this is just the beginning of a long road to recovery.

Charlie is breathing on his own and showing signs of progress everyday, and will continue his recovery at Brigham and Women's Hospital for the next month, if not more.

Due to work demands and expenses to stay near the hospital, his loved ones are doing their best to travel from Vermont to Boston as frequently as possible to be there and support Charlie during this time.

On behalf of Charlie, his wife Tina, and daughter Alexis, we have set up this GoFundMe campaign to try and ease their financial worries of paying for hotel stays, parking fees, and travel expenses to be there for him.

Thank you for considering helping the Noel family as Charlie begins his recovery. Your positive thoughts and support are greatly appreciated and mean so much!
