PFF Walk 2025: Unity in the Fight Against Pulmonary Fibrosis

On June 5, 2025, the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation (PFF) announced an exciting upcoming event aimed at uniting individuals affected by pulmonary fibrosis. The PFF Walk 2025 is set to take place across multiple locations, inviting participants and their families to come together to raise critical awareness and funds for pulmonary fibrosis (PF), a progressive lung disease characterized by scarring of lung tissue. This year's walk is particularly significant as it celebrates the 25th anniversary of the PFF, highlighting their unwavering commitment to addressing the challenges posed by this debilitating disease.

The PFF Walk provides a unique opportunity for those impacted by PF, including patients, caregivers, friends, and family, to connect, share experiences, and foster a sense of community. Scott Staszak, President and CEO of the PFF, expressed optimism about the advancements being made in research and advocacy efforts to combat PF. He emphasized the importance of community involvement, stating that with greater support, the PFF can maintain momentum towards discovering effective treatments and ultimately finding a cure.
