| Right now, 200,000 Americans are living with pulmonary fibrosis. By the end of the year, 40,000 people will die from the disease - the same number who will die from breast cancer.
Despite how rampant the disease is, there is still very little known about it: it's causes and, more seriously, how to treat it.
In December of 2003, I lost my grandma, Emily Shulman, to pulmonary fibrosis. Not only did the disease ultimately take her life, it made her extremely weak and uncomfortable while she lived with it.
To honor my grandma's life and memory, I have decided to run the 2006 New York City Marathon. My goal is simple: to raise awareness and money for the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation.
Please remember that anything you can donate, even if it's only $5, will make a difference.
Thank you. |
