In the spirit of the “ice bucket challenge” Isacc “Ike” Long’s family would like to start an awareness challenge

“In an attempt to raise awareness of childhood lung disease and the challenges each family faces, I have created this page for Ike’s Avengers.

Isaac is one of the most lively, vibrant and seemingly healthy 6 year old boy who has been fighting lung disease since before he took his first steps. His journey has not been an easy one but I think all of us can learn a lesson from my nephew in that you can never let “lifes’ situations” weigh you down.

Have any of you awoken in the night having a coughing fit or been unable to catch your breath by a smoky campfire? This is what I understand lung capacity and breathing issues to feel like. I am one of the seemingly fortunate ones in my family who have the ability to “breath easy”.

I am starting the challenge to breath a sigh of relief….no one has to dump freezing cold water on their head or jump into a cold muddy pond. I challenge anyone who accepts this challenge to broaden your knowledge of lung disease and to literally breathe a sigh of relief because you have the ability to rest easy!”

Please keep Ike, his family and all who suffer breathing issues in your hearts and prayers.
