KAREN’S STORY
Karen Click has been denied what most people take for granted on a daily basis: the ability to breathe normally. Six years ago she was diagnosed with Alpha One Antitrypsin Deficiency, a genetic disorder. Her diagnosis was discovered after several life-threatening hospitalizations and a series of chronic respiratory infections. Alpha 1 must be inherited from BOTH parents and is extremely rare; only 100,000 people in the United States are currently diagnosed. At this point, her only option for survival is a double lung transplant.
Karen and her husband, John, left their homes and families in Colorado and relocated to Tennessee in 2010 in hopes of finding a better quality of life in a lower altitude environment. Karen enjoys the love and support of four daughters, six grandchildren, and a loving husband who help her meet many daily challenges.
