PFF Walk - Bay Area
Thank you for your support of the PFF Walk - Bay Area!
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who walked, fundraised, and donated to the PFF Walk - Bay Area on Saturday, September 7! Because of your commitment, we are able 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. Together, we are taking steps toward a cure.
Fundraising pages will remain active until the end of the year. Post-Walk is a great time to update your page with photos from the Walk and thank your donors!
PFF Walk Incentive Program
As a thank you for raising funds and awareness, all registered walkers can earn PFF-branded items! After individual fundraising is tallied post-Walk, participants will receive information about their gift level and how to redeem their item.

Join the PFF Community Registry
The PFF
Community Registry is a series of surveys for all community
members affected by pulmonary fibrosis (PF) or interstitial lung
disease (ILD). Each case and experience
is unique and much about PF and ILD remains unknown. The PFF Community Registry seeks to change that. Knowledge is
the first step in understanding how to positively help all who are
impacted by these diseases, and your responses to our surveys can help researchers get closer to a cure. Sign up and learn more now!
Attend Broadway Belts for PFF!
Step into the spotlight at the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation’s (PFF) 15th annual signature gala Broadway Belts for PFF! on
March 10 at Sony Hall in New York City and streaming live. This
extraordinary event is hosted by Isabelle Stevenson Tony Award-winning

Share your story
Why do you walk? We know that everyone who participates in the PFF Walk has a story to tell. Storytelling is one of the most powerful ways to raise awareness. We'd love to hear your story and share it on our Facebook and Instagram account as a part of our highly popular Portraits of PF series. In this series, you answer a series of questions and then provide your favorite photos. Then, we'll work with you to schedule your story on social media so that the entire community can hear your story.
About the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation
At the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation, we are dedicated to making a difference in the lives of those affected by pulmonary fibrosis (PF), a form of interstitial lung disease (ILD). Pulmonary fibrosis is a process that causes lung scarring, in which fibrotic tissue blocks the movement of oxygen from inside the tiny air sacs in the lungs into the bloodstream. Low oxygen levels, and the stiff scar tissue itself, can cause people with pulmonary fibrosis to feel short of breath, particularly when walking and exercising. Over 250,000 Americans are living with PF today. Approximately 50,000 new cases are diagnosed each year and as many as 40,000 Americans die from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) each year.
As the largest organization committed to raising awareness and providing support, our mission is to accelerate the development of new treatments and ultimately a cure for pulmonary fibrosis. Until this goal is achieved, the PFF is committed to advancing improved care of patients with PF and providing unequaled support and education resources for patients, caregivers, family members, and healthcare providers.
