Canadian Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation is the national charity that supports patients and their families during their journey with this rare disease. We raise funds to provide programs & services, raise awareness, research and advocate on the plight of individuals living with this rare disease. For those who don't know how they contracted this disease, they are labeled as Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), however, there are many who know how they contracted this disease due to Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA-ILD) and Scerloderma (SSC-ILD), exposure to birds and various other environmental conditions.
