Breathe: A Fundraising Night for Anna Young

THE SAN DIEGO COMMUNITY COMES TOGETHER TO RAISE FUNDS FOR 31-YEAR OLD WOMAN IN NEED OF DOUBLE LUNG TRANSPLANT


Bliss 101 Hosts ‘Breathe: A Fundraising Night for Anna Young” on November 10


Anna Young, a 31-year-old Cardiff local, has been living with a very rare lung disease for most of her life and is in need of a double lung transplant. Thankfully she is number 3 on the transplant wait list at UCLA Medical Center, but faces a monstrous amount of medical costs associated with this procedure.
