Rich is on the Road to transplant!

Update 7/21/23: after many ups in and downs we are here in PA at UPenn. Rich was transported here by life flight on life support. He is stable but needs somethings done, tests cleared etc to be accepted. This are moving quickly. The life flight will cost $15,000 likely so the money we have raised is more than half spoken for. Our family is so grateful for all the support and love thus far and the continued love and support that keeps pouring in.

I know everyone gives what they can but if there's a way for just a bit more we would be grateful. We've come too far to have finances be the deciding factor. Thank you for the bottom of our hearts.

With love,

Tracie, Kim, Richard and family

Mybrother Rich recently had a doctor's appointment to recheck the status of his progressing lung disease (Pulmonary Fibrosis). His function has decreased about 50% from the last time he was seen and the time for a lung transplant is NOW.

Since time is critical I will have no shame. I'm Rich's sister. Please consider helping Rich and our family to raise the money needed for his transplant. He needs to have a minimum of $20,000. We did have a benefit last year for him and the funds raised have gone a long ways to pay for the many medical expenses he has had since then.

To know Rich is to love Rich. To get to know him a littel better you can check out his fly tying utube videos (Rich LaMonte). One of his passions. His other passion is off-roading which unfortunately he can't can't do anymore.

We appreciate all the thoughts prayers and any help anyone can give. ❤️❤️❤️
