Testimonials
"Your support services have given my husband a ray of hope; he had no idea others were living with the same condition. Please accept this donation so that others can be helped"
– Thank you from a caregiver
"Thank you. The direction you have provided me and my family (referral, resources, support) just brings tears to my eyes. We were lost without you, and thank you for being there when we needed you."
– IPF patient, New Jersey
“The [“Living with IPF”] seminar at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) brought to light for me the unique challenges and obstacles people face with pulmonary fibrosis. I was very impressed by [the CPF’s] dedication as well as the various speakers and patients alike, who are increasing public awareness for pulmonary fibrosis. The CPF is leading the way to improve the detection, diagnosis and treatment to increase quality of life, and the ongoing research effort which will eventually lead to a cure.”
– John E. Bess III, American Lung Association of California

California CPF Member Raises $5,000 at 1st Annual 100 mile Walk/Run to Benefit IPF Patient John Wilson
Lorie Bernal of San Jose, Calif. organized her first annual personal challenge on Memorial Day weekend May 28-31, 2004 to walk and bike 100 miles for four days on behalf of her father John Wilson, who passed away from IPF in 2003. She had family and friends, including her father walk with her at certain times during her journey, and everyone wore t-shirts with a picture of John that her son drew. Lorie also held the event as a fundraiser, and exceeded her goal to raise over $5,000 for a generous contribution to the CPF. Lorie’s walk/run this year fell during the same week as her father’s 68th birthday, and she will continue to challenge herself around the same time annually to celebrate John and his fight against IPF.
