June 1: Worldwide LAM Awareness Day

Worldwide LAM Awareness Day is observed worldwide every June 1, marking the beginning of Worldwide LAM Awareness Month. This day is dedicated to raising awareness about lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), a rare and progressive lung disease that predominantly affects women. LAM is characterized by the growth of abnormal smooth-muscle-like cells in the lungs, which can lead to significant respiratory issues over time. The event aims to educate the public about the signs and symptoms of LAM, which include shortness of breath and coughing, and to support patients through fundraising for research into better therapies and potential cures. The day also highlights the importance of early diagnosis, as it often takes several years for LAM to be correctly identified due to symptom similarities with other lung diseases.
