I received this email today from the Coalition for Pulmonary Fibrosis and thought it was important enough to post two blogs in one day! If you are able and wish to make a donation to this group, the below will be informative as well as an easy way to make the donation.
My personal thanks to CPF. They are lovely to deal with, fund major PF research and are very organized. A well run organization. Your money will not be squandered.
Here is the information:
Today and tomorrow are the last days to support the 2011 effort to find a cure for Pulmonary Fibrosis (PF)!
If you have not yet made a year-end gift (it's tax-deductible), please consider doing so today. If you have, we thank you for taking a step to stop PF.
The CPF’s list of heroes is long and it includes patients who give generously of their time to help others, family members and friends who come to Capitol Hill to support the legislation for research funding, families and support groups hosting fundraisers and awareness events across the country, all those who have cared for and assisted those affected by PF, and the loved ones we’ve lost who so courageously fought against this horrible disease. Everyone who makes a contribution at any level is a hero!
We are all fighting a 100% fatal disease that can strike any one of us. We may not have treatments yet, but there is consistently new and exciting research information that demonstrates vastly increased understanding of the disease process.
We are on our way to success, but it’s critical that everyone is on board to make certain the progress continues! Help us make sure that those diagnosed today may be saved tomorrow.
Please make a year-end gift to help us stop PF in its tracks. In celebration of our 10th year, we are asking supporters to make a contribution of a multiple of $10, whether $10, $50, $100 or $1,000. Click here to donate online.
Here is what you will be supporting:
- Cutting-edge innovative research via a peer reviewed program (Over $2 million funded)
- Advocacy for passage of the Pulmonary Fibrosis Research Enhancement Act (67 co-sponsors and climbing)
- Continued assistance with resources needed by patients and caregivers (Educational newsletter/brochures, toll-free line, and informational website)
- Expanding national awareness of PF (New Daughters of PF program with Actress Rose McGowen as Chair)
The CPF helps every patient at no cost – that help is supported by you. The CPF makes generous (over $2 million in total) contributions to research because we must save lives. That life could be yours or anyone you know.
Thank you for being a hero – the entire PF community is grateful.
Your grateful partners in the fight against PF,
CPF Staff
