The Tampa Pulmonary Fibrosis Community Walk is open to everyone and unites all working to make a difference in the fight against pulmonary fibrosis (PF). Our goal is to educate the community about the impact of PF, a complex disease without a cure that affects more than 250,000 Americans annually, and approximately 50,000 new cases are diagnosed each year.
Because of the work of the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation (PFF), there is hope for those living with PF. Funds raised will support the PFF’s efforts 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.
But we can't do this without you! Only with your support can we keep the PFF's mission active. Please click the "Donate" button to make your gift today. Thank you in advance for your generous support!
If you plan to attend the walk, we ask you to click "Register" on the right to register for yourself or create a team today!
