    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.

    Thank you,

    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

    Dan Rose, MD at the 2004 Coeur d'Alene Ironman

    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.
