September marks Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Month, presented by the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation (PFF) to spread the word about pulmonary fibrosis (PF), a progressive, incurable lung disease with different causes affecting more than 200,000 people in the U.S. While more than 50,000 new cases are diagnosed annually, awareness of PF symptoms, which include shortness of breath, fatigue and a dry, hacking cough, remains very low for a vast majority (86%) of Americans, according to the PFF.

The Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation is committed to its mission to drive research and act as the trusted resource for individuals afflicted with pulmonary fibrosis. We exist to serve people of every race and background, and we know that the suffering resulting from PF is often accompanied by other painful hardships borne by patients and their loved ones.
