COALITION FOR PULMONARY FIBROSIS KICKS OFF “LIPS FOR A CURE” PROMOTIONAL CAMPAIGN WITH MARY KAY PRODUCTS
Promo Pays Tribute to Mary Kay Director Lost to Pulmonary Fibrosis
Culver City, CA – December 22, 2011/ - The Coalition for Pulmonary Fibrosis (CPF) announced today the launch of the first campaign to raise funds for Pulmonary Fibrosis (PF) while paying tribute to a Mary Kay independent sales director who lost her fight to PF at the age of 45. The “Lips for a Cure” campaign kicks off today and runs through February 29, 2011.
In August, Doris Lowenthal, a Mary Kay independent sales director, lost her fight to Pulmonary Fibrosis (PF), an incurable lung disease that has no FDA-approved treatments, and which kills more than 40,000 Americans each year - as many as breast cancer. Ironically, Lowenthal was a two-time breast cancer survivor and received a lung transplant for PF five years ago.

“Doris really wanted to hold a promotional campaign this holiday season to draw attention, funding and awareness to Pulmonary Fibrosis, the disease that ultimately cost her her life,” said Barry Lowenthal, Doris Lowenthal’s husband. “When she was in the hospital, she was talking about how great this campaign was going to be. We worked to make this effort happen for Doris and other patients and families fighting the disease.”
Kim Meyers, a Mary Kay independent senior sales director and close friend of Doris’, worked with the CPF to plan the sales promotion and she will lead the effort as well as other future promotions. “Doris was such a beautiful person and really wanted people to understand this little known disease from which she suffered. She freely shared her story with others and now we’re sharing her story and kicking off the ‘Lips for a Cure’ in her memory,” said Kim Meyers.
“We are so fortunate to have known Doris and worked with her on and off Capitol Hill to raise awareness for Pulmonary Fibrosis,” said Mishka Michon, Chief Executive Officer of the CPF. “She was so upbeat and positive and we will keep her memory alive with the success of ‘Lips for a Cure’”.
For those stricken with PF, the lungs become scarred to the point that they can no longer make the necessary blood-oxygen exchange necessary for to breathe and eventually causes patients to suffocate.
