On April 4th, 2022, my wife lost her father to Pulmonary Fibrosis. A disease that took her family by surprise and one that we knew very little about. I want to help change that for others. If you've made it to this page, I want to thank you as that alone means a lot to me, Farrah and her family.  Here's a little more about Pulmonary Fibrosis and the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation.

Pulmonary fibrosis is a condition that causes lung tissue to become thickened, stiff, and scarred. The lungs eventually lose their ability to transfer oxygen into the bloodstream, making everyday activities such as breathing and walking extremely difficult. It is a progressive disease, which means it tends to worsen over time. Every individual diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis has a unique experience with the disease, and there is no “standard” or expected clinical course. With no known cure, the disease is often fatal within three to five years of diagnosis. Over 250,000 Americans are living with PF today. Approximately 50,000 new cases are diagnosed each year.

Because of the work of the PFF, there is hope for those living with PF. Funds raised will support the PFF’s efforts to accelerate research, advance improved care for those living with the disease, and provide unequaled support and education resources for patients, caregivers, family members, and healthcare providers.
