PFF Walk - Chicago
Thank you for your support of the PFF Walk - Chicago!
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who walked, fundraised, and donated to the PFF Walk - Chicago on Saturday, September 14! 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.
Fundraising pages will remain active through the end of the year and prizes can be redeemed through December 31, 2024. To check your fundraising totals and see what you qualify for, please log in to your fundraising dashboard.
Eligible fundraisers will receive a redemption email with instructions on how to claim their prize. If you have questions or need more information, please send us an email at PFFWalk@pulmonaryfibrosis.org.
Please note: Thank you prizes are determined by individual fundraising totals. All PFF Walk participants who register and raise funds are eligible to redeem a prize from their highest level achieved (or under).

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.
