Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and ultimately a terminal disease which I and my family had never heard of until my Dad was diagnosed with it 5 years ago, yet over 6000 people are diagnosed across the UK every year. It is a 'cruel' disease for which there is currently no cure. I can't really imagine how my Dad really felt over the last five years, but I know he fought the disease as much as he could by staying active, as long as he was able. He was brave and courageous every single day! By supporting Action for Pulmonary Fibrosis I hope we will help to raise awareness of the disease and support medical trials, which couldn't save my Dad, but will hopefully in the not too distant future, give hope to all families impacted by IPF.
