#RareDiseaseDayIPF

Help us raise awareness of the devastating lung disease Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) on Rare Disease Day. IPF kills 5,000 people in the UK every year but it doesn’t have a high profile and is poorly understood. It is estimated that more than 30,000 people in the UK are affected although there is a huge issue around data collection of IPF patients and this figure could be even larger. Life expectancy after diagnosis is 3 -5 years. There is no cure. Help us make a difference.
