The Garden State Pulmonary Fibrosis Support Group (GSPFSG) will celebrate its 11th year in November 2015. It is the only support group in New Jersey for those with pulmonary fibrosis. The group has about 25 active members. Over the years many members have received lung transplants at nearby hospitals. Unfortunately, we have also lost many members to this terrible disease. The diagnosis of pulmonary fibrosis is frightening and our group tries to help with acceptance and advice to improve daily living. We share information and help each other through difficult times.
This is the 7th year the GSPFSG will sponsor the 5K Walk/Run to raise funds for the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation. Thus far we have raised $98,903.00 and hope to exceed the $120,000.00 mark this year.
The 5K will be held in Nomahegan Park in Cranford, NJ. The event offers free food and music. The park has playgrounds for the kids so make it a family day! All are welcome!
We hope you will join us on Saturday, September 27th.
REGISTRATION
Late registration begins at 9AM and the walk/run begins at 10AM.
Sincerely,
Barbara Murphy, Garden State Support Group Leader
