What is Action for Pulmonary Fibrosis?
Action for Pulmonary Fibrosis (APF) is a growing community of patients, families, researchers and healthcare professionals striving to find a cure for pulmonary fibrosis so that everyone affected by the disease has a better future as currently there is no cure and no government funding. We provide personalised support to patient and families - and raise awareness of pulmonary fibrosis through campaigning, fundraising and education. We are also committed to funding research to improve the quality of life for people living with pulmonary fibrosis today and tomorrow.
Our Story
This devastating disease is now affecting the second generation of our family . Thirty years ago John's father was diagnosed and died three years later. We didn't know then that this could be genetically inherited and were shocked when John's diagnosis revealed that he was suffering from the same condition. We are determined to contribute to the work being done by APF which will give hope to families like ours that the next generation will have better treatments , better support and ultimately that a cure will be found.
