September is Global Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Month!
Today marks the start of Raise & Shine.

Across Canada, people affected by pulmonary fibrosis are raising their voices, raising awareness, raising funds, raising questions, raising hope and raising each other up.

And together, we’re shining a light on the things that deserve to be seen: pulmonary fibrosis,
inequities in care, research, the people making a difference and the stories behind this disease.

This September and October, we’ll be sharing those stories—and ways you can take action.

What’s on your mind right now?

Maybe it’s something you’ve been navigating for months. Maybe it’s a question that came up this week. Or maybe you simply want to hear how others are navigating life with PF.

On September 1st, CPFF’s National Pulmonary Fibrosis Patient Support Group is opening the conversation.

There’s no set discussion topic for this session. It’s an opportunity for people living with PF across Canada to bring what’s on their minds, share experiences and learn from one another.

The sooner you know, the sooner you can take action. 💙

An early diagnosis of pulmonary fibrosis can help you understand your disease, explore treatment options, and connect with the support you need.

🎥 Hear Dr. Fell explain why early diagnosis matters.

This September, landmarks across Canada will shine in red and blue for Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Month.

It's a powerful reminder that awareness starts with visibility—and that every light represents hope for the pulmonary fibrosis community.
If you spot a monument lighting up in your community, take a photo, share it, and tag us. We'd love to see Canada glowing together. Check out where it's happening here: https://cpff.ca/cpff-events/

"Treat me like I'm living."
Those were Bruce Ortlieb's words after being diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis.
It's a reminder that behind every diagnosis is a person with dreams, routines, passions, and people they love.
Bruce's daughter, Angie, shares his journey with honesty, courage, and love. We hope you'll take a few moments to watch his story and celebrate a life lived with remarkable resilience.

Some carried photographs. Some wore names across their hearts. Others shared stories of the people who brought them there.

On Saturday, over 300 people came together for the Winnipeg Walk for PF including one family nearly 50 people strong!

They walked for the fathers, mothers, siblings, grandparents and friends they’ve lost. They walked beside those living with PF today. Together, they raised more than $67,000 and showed that no family has to carry PF alone.

There was laughter, there were tears, and everywhere you looked, there was love.

To every participant, team, volunteer, sponsor and member of the media who helped shine a light on PF: thank you for making this day so powerful.

The walk may be over, but its impact isn’t. Donations remain open until October. Please continue to give in honour of the names we carry.

"No one has to walk this journey alone." 💙

That's what Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Month is all about.

This September, we'll be sharing trusted resources, patient stories, expert advice, advocacy updates, and Walks for PF across Canada, all to support people living with pulmonary fibrosis and those who care for them.

We hope you'll join us.

A pulmonary fibrosis diagnosis changes life for the whole family. 💙
It often means adjusting routines, accepting help, and learning together. Most importantly, it's a reminder that pulmonary fibrosis is not your fault.
