We’re Breathless for Change
A relatively common “rare” disease, pulmonary fibrosis affects about 30,000 people in Canada. This number is growing. There is no cure, although there are treatments to slow the progress of the disease. The prognosis for PF is still grim, with most individuals dying within three to five years following diagnosis. And diagnosis can be difficult, taking up to a year or more.

Research is the best prospect for improved treatments and an eventual cure. CPFF offers a community of hope and support to anyone affected by pulmonary fibrosis, so that no one needs to face this disease alone.
