A lung transplant can save the life of Guilford native Buddy (Harold Orville) Chittenden, whom doctors feel can only survive two more years without one. That's why a group of friends and family are racing the clock to raise money to help finance the expensive procedure and follow-up.

"We really hope that there is some help available in the Guilford community for us to help pay for Buddy's medical expenses," said his wife, Florence Chittenden.

Chittenden became ill in 2004, when he was diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and diabetes.
