MEET YOUR LEADERS
Hi!
We’re John and Lana Lamkin, and we’re happy you are here.
Why We Started the Support Group
At the age of 50, Lana was at the peak of her physical fitness, juggling roles as a gym owner, personal trainer, and health and nutrition coach. However, in the spring of 2020, her life took an unexpected turn when she was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease, dermatomyositis, coupled with a rare antisynthetase syndrome (anti PL-7). In May 2020, these diseases ultimately took her lungs, leading to a double-lung transplant.
Driven by their own journey through trauma and recovery, Lana and John recognized the profound need for a supportive community for individuals facing life-altering diagnoses. Drawing from Lana’s experience as a double-lung transplant recipient and John’s role as her dedicated caregiver, they founded this faith-based support group to offer compassion, understanding, and hope to others on similar paths.
