The Alpha-1 Foundation is proud to recognize Lucas Johnson, a political science major at Santa Fe College entering his senior year, as one of the recipients of the 2026 Alpha-1 Educational Scholarships. He was awarded the John Walsh III Scholarship.
Diagnosed with Alpha-1 at just three months old, Lucas has met the challenges of the condition with resilience and determination. He credits his family as the source of his strength and was inspired by his parents, who served as A1F Support Group Leaders and longtime supporters of the Alpha-1 Foundation. Today, Lucas gives back by supporting the Alpha-1 community and helping raise awareness of Alpha-1.
