As an Alpha-1 caregiver, Amber Simmons supported her mother, Deb LaBud, alongside her father, Tony. “Being her caregiver was a privilege I will forever be grateful for, even on the days when it was hard, scary, and emotionally exhausting. If I could do it all over again, I would choose to walk beside her every single time.”
This November, Amber is honoring Deb’s strength and legacy through the A1F Virtual Walk (#A1FVW26) with her team, “25 Years of Breath – Forever Our Lung Warrior.” Walk in honor of someone special, in memory of a loved one, or for yourself as we Step Forward for Alpha-1 together.
