A fundraising campaign has been launched for an area police officer.

While he is only 46 years old, Michael McCready has the lungs of 100 year old person.

A Go Fund Me has been set up to try and find out what’s ailing him.

Over the past six years doctors have been unable to diagnose the illness, which has similar symptoms to C-O-P-D.

The target for the campaign is $100,000.

Its estimated the preliminary diagnostics at the Minnesota Mayo Clinic campus could cost as much as $16,000 (US) and between travel, prognosis and treatment, the bill could be as high as $150,000 (US).
