Allen Nella
is participating in the New York City Marathon on November
5th, 2006 in honor of his grandmother who died from
Pulmonary Fibrosis.
Right now, 200,000
Americans are living with pulmonary fibrosis. By the end of
the year, 40,000 people will die from the disease - the same
number who will die from breast cancer. Despite how rampant
the disease is, there is still very little known about it:
it's causes and, more seriously, how to treat it. In
December of 2003, I lost my grandma, Emily Shulman, to
pulmonary fibrosis. Not only did the disease ultimately take
her life, it made her extremely weak and uncomfortable while
she lived with it. To honor my grandma's life and memory, I
have decided to run the 2006 New York City Marathon. My goal
is simple: to raise awareness and money for the Pulmonary
Fibrosis Foundation. Please remember that anything you can
donate, even if it's only small, will make a difference.
Thank you. |

TOBY'S
TEAM - Road Trippin' to Trip up Pulmonary
Fibrosis
My Mom, Toby Neipris Wilgoren, of blessed
memory, died on Mother's Day, at the age of 59,
after a long and hard-fought battle with a
terminal lung disease called pulmonary fibrosis.
There is no cure for this deadly disease.
Unlike other, better-known causes, like cancer
or Alzheimer's, there is little research and
funding to raise awareness about pulmonary
fibrosis.
What many of you may not know is that, as it was
told to me, sometime in 1972, my parents, then
young newlyweds, put down a deposit on a mobile
home. They had a dream of driving cross-country
and living in different places across America.
Soon after putting the deposit down, however, my
Mom learned that she was pregnant with me, and
that was the end of their cross-country dream
and the beginning of a whole different
adventure...
Beginning July 1, my dear friend, Rose-Ellen and
I will be driving approximately 10,000 miles
cross-country (route to be posted soon). Every
place we see, we will be seeing for Toby, every
hike we take, we will take for her, and every
purple flower we pick, we will pick for her, as
she is in our hearts, and she never got to
fulfill this dream herself.
PLEASE help us by "sponsoring" our trip. One
penny for every mile will be a $100 donation.
Checks can be sent to The Pulmonary Fibrosis
Foundation via 516 East 86th Street, Apt. 1B,
New York, New York 10028, or you can give
directly on-line and learn more about this
disease at
www.pulmonaryfibrosis.org.
With your help, we hope to create a Toby Neipris
Wilgoren Memorial Fund at the Pulmonary Fibrosis
Foundation, allowing for more funding for
medical research and advocacy as well as support
for patients and families. All donors will be
recognized on the blog (unless you request to
remain anonymous) and will receive a Team Toby
t-shirt, as soon as they are available.
Stay tuned for frequent blog updates with route
info and photos.

This is an event to honor the
memory of the former president
of the Greater New York Alumni
Chapter of Arizona State
University, Jim Stephens. Jim
died in 2003 of a debilitating
disease of the lungs called
Pulmonary Fibrosis. This
insipid disease breaks down
and scars the inside of the
lungs until the victim dies of
suffocation. This can take as
little as 2 years!
Over 40,000 Americans a year
die of PF (as many as die of
breast cancer)
Most cases are STILL
misdiagnosed as pneumonia,
bronchitis or asthma
There is no known cure
Despite all this, few people
have ever heard of PF. If this
continues, people will
continue to suffer from this
horrible condition without
hope for a cure. You can help
by coming to the happy hour
January 26th or by visiting
www.pulmonaryfibrosis.org to
learn more about the disease
and contributing to support
research and advocacy. This
event is sponsored by the Pac
10 Alumni of the New York
area, and organized by the
local alumni of Arizona State
University.
You will be able to learn
about PF and have an
opportunity to contribute to
the cause at the event. Thank
you for you attention and
time. Hope you can join us at
Doherty's on the 26th |

Albert Rose, founder of
the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation died of Pulmonary
Fibrosis on
February 6, 2002 |
Chairman of the Board of Directors of the
Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation will compete in the The Ironman Race to be held on July 24th, 2005 in Lake
Placid, NY. He also competed in the Coeur d'Alene Ironman
in 2004
My
father, Albert Rose died from pulmonary fibrosis. Prior to
his death, he and his brother Mike Rosenzweig, Ph. D.
started the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation. The Foundation
funds research grants, provides patient education and
support, and has lobbied congress and the NIH for more
research funding.
There are new exciting therapies
evolving for the treatment of this dreaded and incurable
disease. Funding is essential to continue the research. I
am a physician and a fortunate cancer survivor
(non-Hodgkin's
lymphoma) and personally know the incredible benefits of
medical research. I am dedicating this race to my father
and to help continue the research so that others may ultimately
beat this disease. -- Dan Rose, M. D.

fibrosis or the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation please call
