Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) affects over 150,000 people in the United States each year with half of those people dying from this terrible syndrome. Worldwide, the numbers abound. Share your thoughts with us on a more personal level.
About Me
- Name: ARDS Survivor
- Location: Chicago, Illinois, United States
At the age of thirty three, my life was changed in ways that I could not imagine. Once a overwhelmed and extremely stressed out attorney, I suddenly found myself critically ill with acute respiratory distress syndrome. The entire summer of 1995, I spent in the hospital, on a vent, fighting for my life. After recoverying, against all odds, my life was forever changed. Now, I work part time and dedicate myself to doing something for others who have had to endrue the life changing affects from ARDS. "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger!"

Gary Chasles is one of the co-founder of the ARDS Ride Foundation.
They are based in Southern Maryland.
On July 15, 2006, they will be hosting their benefit, ARDS Ride, along with a post ride concert which will raise funds for ARDS research.
The money raised will go to Johns Hopkins which does does a lot of work with ARDS and ARDS patients. One of the members of ARDS Foundation's Medical Advisory Board, Dr. Roy Brower, is one of the amazing doctors who devotes so much of his time and energy into all things ARDS and we support him and his work wholeheartedly.
This is the 3rd year for the ARDS Ride and its founders are hoping it will be the finest.
With your attendance and support, it is sure to be!
Gary, his sister Kerri, and his brother, Robert, who are all working hard to make this a success, lost their father to ARDS in November, 2003, three months after turning 50 years old.
