Celebrating community
The PFF Walk unites all members of the PF and ILD community. Whether you are a patient, have received a lung transplant, or are a caregiver, family member, friend, or healthcare professional, the PFF Walk celebrates you and your work toward our collective goal: to find a cure.
The Opening Ceremony at the PFF Walk includes an interactive moment of recognition for all who have been affected by PF and ILD. When you arrive at the PFF Walk, we invite you to pick up a fan, personalize it, and raise it proudly during the Opening Ceremony!

After the walk, we invite you to stay for a celebration with family-friendly activities and light refreshments.

About the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation
At the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation (PFF), 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 dedicated to raising awareness and providing support, the PFF is committed to accelerating research, empowering our community, and transforming care so that everyone with pulmonary fibrosis can live a better life. Our ultimate goal is to find a cure for pulmonary fibrosis.
