Hi this is Bill Schmidt. I'm president and CEO at the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation.
Obviously the COVID19 world pandemic has caused tremendous change across all
aspects of life and we know this is a particularly scary time for people with
pulmonary fibrosis and their caregivers. That's why the foundation has been
working hard to enhance our education and support efforts to make our
community safe. Consistent with that commitment to safety, we've made the
difficult but we think appropriate and necessary decision to make all of our
PFF Walks for 2020 virtual but we're gonna need your help. We need you to form
teams, participate, and of course donate. With your help we can make these events a
success for the whole year. Thank you very much, and now I'd like to hand it
over to some of our wonderful volunteer leaders at our walks all across the
country. Thank you!
Hey! I'm happy to report that the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation has
figured out a way to keep us walking in these challenging times. Join us on
September 12th for a virtual walk in Chicago for PFF. A big advantage of a
virtual walk is that you can do it anywhere. You can walk in the park, you
can walk around the block, you can even walk in place. So mark September 12th
on the calendar, tell your family, tell your friends, tell anyone you know who's
been impacted by this disease about the opportunity to walk on September 12th.
You can walk individually, you can create a team, or you can expand your team which
is what team Harris-DePoy is planning to do. So keep on walking, let's walk
together on September 12 and show what we can do.
Hello, I'm Rishi Raj and I direct the interstitial lung disease program here at Stanford. I would like to take
this opportunity to thank the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation for being a valuable
resource for the clinician, for patient education, for meeting and supporting
research for patient advocacy and most importantly raising awareness regarding
pulmonary fibrosis. So now that you've heard from our ILD team here at
Stanford I really hope as a nurse and as a PFF
Ambassador, that all of you and your friends and your family members will think of
some either outside you know socially distanced safe event or virtual event
and join us to celebrate Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Month this September.
Thank you everyone.
We are Team MollyK! We are participating on October 10, 2020 in the Virtual Washington DC PFF Walk. Go Team MollyK!
