for Pulmonary Fibrosis
July 18, 2020
Registration will open early 2020
Thank YOU for your support of the 9th annual Violet Rippy 5K for Pulmonary Fibrosis in honor of my Mother and all Families affected by this disease. There are no words to express how thankful I am to all of you.
All of us together can make a difference.
So many families and friends honoring and supporting their loved ones weathered the extreme heat and humidity to raise awareness and funds to fight PF and to give hope to those suffering from this horrible disease.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Simmons Center for Interstitial Lung Disease provides: state-of-the-art care for people with interstitial lung disease (ILD) that is comprehensive and compassionate; international leadership in research on lung inflammation and fibrosis, promoting the translation of scientific discoveries into new treatments for patients with these lung disorders; a complete resource for the education of patients and their families regarding ILD and its impact on their lifestyle; and patient-friendly advice and support for people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
