He also went in for his 6 month bronchoscopy today and was told that the lungs still "LOOK GREAT"!!! TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!

Atlanta Braves Fundraiser!!!

Help us raise funds for Lungs4Joseph by selling 50/50 raffle tickets to Braves fans this coming Thursday at Turner Field! Not only will you be helping Joseph pay for his transplant and monthly medications, but you'll have a great time too! We need between 25-80 volunteers. We will be selling raffle tickets up into the bottom of the 2nd inning. After that...we all get to enjoy the game...FOR FREE!

At the end of the 2nd inning, one ticket will be selected and one lucky fan will win 50% of the funds raised. The additional 50% will be split between Lungs for Joseph and the Atlanta Braves Foundation.

According to Atlanta Braves Foundation all volunteers must be 18 or older.

For those of you who would like to carpool with us...we will be meeting at The Landing Church (1640 Hwy 42 McDonough, GA. 30253) at 2:30pm. If you would rather meet us at the park, you can meet us near the front entrance of Turner Field at Ticket Sales at 3:30pm. THANK YOU!!!
