"To be suddenly robbed of your ability to BREATHE naturally is frightening! Something I took for granted for many years was my ability to walk quickly on the boardwalk, climb any mountain I chose, play any sport that I wanted to, run just for the fun of it with my sons and now my grandsons and last but not least...dance the jitterbug with my hubby. They are the things I miss the most.

This is what Pulmonary Fibrosis (PF) does. It can slowly or quickly rob any individual of the right to breathe. I am one of the lucky ones. Only in the past year of a 5 year battle with this disease have I had to give up all of the above. Finding the cause of this disease through research and hopefully a cure through funding would be the ultimate gift that we could give to the 128,000 afflicted with PF and the 40,000 that join our club each year."
