"Make Your Voice Heard by Joining the CPF's Campaign ACT Today!"


The CPF's campaign ACT (Ask. Challenge. Take Action!) is a national advocacy campaign coordinated by the CPF to unify the voice of our patients and physicians in Washington D.C. The CPF regularly advocates for increased federal funding for pulmonary fibrosis and for legislation in Congress that is important to the community we serve.

The ACT Campaign relies on the participation of patients, their families, and all those that are affected by the IPF, and is supported by each of the CPF's five nonprofit partners. By joining the ACT campaign, you will become part of an army of volunteers who will contact Congress, national health policymakers and the media to educate them about the IPF. Every three months members will receive the CPF's ACT Action Alert, a newsletter detailing the advocacy efforts and outlining ways for you to help.

Continue your fight against IPF and join the ACT campaign. Your efforts can make a difference, and your participation is critical to our success.

"I am full of energy for this cause. I feel as if I have just planted several small, young trees on Capitol Hill, and over the next many years they will grow into a nice big canopy of protection, comfort and love for the generations of IPF patients and their families to come."
-Bill Rhodes, CPF member & IPF patient delegate to Washington, DC
