Ed Colbert is a friend of mine. He is married to my cousin Rosemary, lucky man that he is. 🙂 But Ed and Rosemary desperately need our help, and quickly.
This is a life and death situation. Literally. Ed’s very survival is hanging in the balance.
You see, in June, 2010, Ed’s lungs collapsed. Not once, but twice. He was diagnosed with a life-threatening form of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). He is on oxygen 24 hours per day and is at the point where drawing a simple breath is a major struggle. Ed’s health is deteriorating rapidly and there is precious little time remaining. Ed needs a lung transplant if he is to survive. He only has 4-6 months.
