Lynn-Marie Cox

Lynn-Marie Cox was first diagnosed with PAH in 1998, at a time when information about PH was not widely known. It took until 1999 for her to start on Flolan®, the only PH treatment that was available at the time. After a couple of years experiencing first-hand how isolating the disease could be, Lynn-Marie set out to make sure other people with PH would have the resources and support they needed to thrive. This led to her founding the Edmonton PAH Society where she took care of most of the administrative work, including applying for charitable status for the Society. She spoke to and peer counselled many local PH patients and caregivers. Even the staff at the hospital would give new patients who were looking for peer support her number. While continuing this work, she eventually joined PHA Canada’s Board of Directors in 2011 and served as the Board’s Secretary for many years.

Lynn-Marie became very heavily involved on behalf of the PHighters she supported. She was often the one responsible for organizing fundraisers and galas in support of members of the community. She worked hard to ensure that everyone had someone to talk to and felt supported throughout their PH journey. The work that she did was truly invaluable and she helped to build awareness of PH both at home in Edmonton and throughout the rest of Canada.

Lynn-Marie gave herself completely to the PH community in order to provide aid to anyone who needed help. She was a “mother” of PH support, providing unconditional love and understanding to those around her. If you needed a helping hand or someone to talk to, Lynn-Marie was there. And for that, the entire Canadian PH community is eternally grateful.
