Lorcan Lucey https://ui.constantcontact.com/visualeditor/visual_editor_preview.jsp?agent.uid=1119231202575&format=html&printFrame=true Page 7 of 13 Healthy Charleston Challenge Newsletter- Final Edition 11/25/14 4:06 PM Lorcan Lucey has an inspiring story. As part of running club with Katie Blaylock as trainer, Lorcan is an avid runner and health conscious individual. However, in May of 2007 Lorcan went on a recovery run of 4 miles and felt sharp pains in his thighs which continually got worse over a few days. When the pain was too much, he went to East Cooper Hospital where he was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. Although this was an obstacle for Lorcan, he started treatment efforts and continued to exercise through this disease. However, after a few months, MUSC (where his medical information had also been sent) found shadow on one of his lungs which turned out to be a lung disease related to arthritis, interstitial lung diseases. This manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis, is described as a group of disorders, that causes progressive scarring of lung tissue which can eventually affects your ability to breathe and reduces oxygen that is transported into your bloodstream. Starting with strong steroids and low chemotherapy, Lorcan began his long fight against this both diseases. He noticed changes immediately that getting oxygen to his lungs was much harder; however he started PFT's (breathing treatment) and although the medicine was not a sure thing, he continued spinning, exercising, traveling, and hiking. In 2010, Lorcan was forced to face a lung transplant with only 50% lung capacity and was told he had 4 years to live. Placed on the waiting list for a lung transplant, he started loving life, enjoying exercise, and even traveled to Mexico in 2011. In 2012, an ambulance had to be called for Lorcan as the disease took a turn for the worst. He went MUSC for transplant because he trusted and respected the hospital and doctors and nurses that worked in the facility. The night before the transplant, Lorcan believed it to be his last night on earth and was ready for his next journey. He awoke the next day with a successful lung transplant from an organ donor. Lorcan, with his dedication and love for exercise and life, was playing tennis and hiking only 90 days after his surgery. He is now an advocate for being an organ donor and is an amazing example of the benefits from having a healthy body and mind and the major influence it can have during sickness and recovery. https://ui.constantcontact.com/visualeditor/visual_editor_preview.jsp?agent.uid=1119231202575&format=html&printFrame=true Page 8 of 13 Healthy Charleston Challenge Newsletter- Final Edition 11/25/14 4:06 PM Thank you, sponsors!
