Quietly remembering over 8,000 people who died of pulmonary fibrosis in 2024, including DJ Johnnie Walker, Indian musician Zakir Hussain and patient advocate Maggie Bartlett. As the year comes to an end, our thoughts are with them and their families. @ActionPFcharity #StopPF

Hi, I'm Lauren Flewett and I've been a Trustee since 2018. I became a Trustee because my dad had Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (he has now received a double lung transplant) and I felt I wanted to help others like him to make the most of their lives with this horrendous illness.

📣 Today, we're launching the results of our survey, spotlighting the devastating impact of PF on all aspects of life.
The title reflects what many people told us - they would have felt better understood & supported if they'd been diagnosed with cancer.
actionpf.org/news/people-wit…
ALT A graphic with a purple background. Within the picture, some text in a speech bubble reads, "I wish it was cancer". Below is text that reads "Experience of Pulmonary Fibrosis in the UK". Below that are 8 illustrations of people. There is text next to the image which reads, "The largest post-COVID survey on the urgent needs facing people with lived experience of progressive fibrosing ILD." At the bottom, there is a text box which reads "Report available now"
