Supporting the Breathe Benefit 2012 annual dinner allows the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation to continue the expansion of our programming across the United States and throughout the world. In particular, your gift will allow the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation to fund peer-reviewed research in pulmonary fibrosis; to expand our patient education and support programs; to continue representing the interests of the pulmonary fibrosis community through our advocacy work nationally and internationally; and to continue being a source of compassionate support for every patient and family coping with pulmonary fibrosis.
